An unexpected surprise that exceeded all expectations - A 200% recommended visit. The views of nature and the city are phenomenal, I took many photos. It is worth spending the entire day to visit the Cathedral, the Monastery and the hanging houses. Our guide, Paty, demonstrated extensive knowledge of history, popular culture, art and architecture and knew how to convey everything with enthusiasm and simplicity. The agency was very friendly and kindly resolved a difference that occurred. I totally recommend them
