    I was very disappointed with this tour. They left me at the hotel and the day after, picked me up. There was no Winter tour, nothing. I had to plan my day and a half by myself, nobody helped me. It is very expensive and there is no tour at all. If you are planning on going I highly recommend to take your car or just find a way to get there. Make your hotel reservation on your own. The rest, anyway is going to be by yourself.
