Took this trip with the whole family and wow, was it memorable! The cultural sites were fascinating and the fairy chimneys were like stepping into a storybook. A lot of history on this trip, and plenty to keep kids interested too. Felt well-organized.

Great family-friendly tour! There's something enchanting about seeing the sunrise from the hot air balloon (extra but worth it!), and the valleys are a sight we won't forget. Lots to discover and the pace was great for our little ones.
