An enjoyable, informative tour. - The drive to Matka was beautiful and the guide was very knowledgable, telling me about things in the city as we passed them as well as some information about what we were going to see. The canyon is lovely and the boat trip was very peaceful and scenic, the church was very interesting with beautiful frescos and the views from the mountain top were amazing.
I was very tired as I took the tour at the end of my trip. The guide was very understanding and everything was calm and easy.
