5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

A good city and its people are kind and friendly, but most of the population does not know the English language, which makes it difficult to communicate with foreign tourists often. Also, I liked it as a very safe city

4/5 - Good

We had an excellent tour guide with us for 3 days. He was very friendly and hospitable and wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Some locals treat tourists differently, but our tour guide was making sure that we got equal treatment.
