“Our guide came up with a plan that suited us perfectly – taking us through the local market, sharing the stories behind everyday life, and guiding us out to the fishing village. What stood out was not only his knowledge, but the way he spoke with genuine pride about his country’s history and its people. It made the experience much richer and more personal”
