Ayoub is incredibly knowledgeable and generous- speaking passionately and with such care about the horrors of the 90’s conflict, what lead to it and the after effects.

He told us so many stories from the time and showed us a lot that we would never have seen by ourselves. We came back with an understanding of the time. The one thing I didn't realise when booking was the long walk from the car park to the bob-sled track as I have limited mobility he left me at a gorgeous hotel for coffee whilst he and my husband went exploring for an hour. In my husband's words best tour ever.”
