An absolutely fantastic experience!
The tour was very interesting and informative, and it was great to be able to see the process behind making the beautiful knives, as well as learning a bit about the history of knife making in the area. They are true experts of their craft, and every detail is meticulously thought out and perfected, from blade to handle to the final product. We were also able to speak directly to each of the craftsmen and artisans, which truly set this experience apart from any others we have had before.
I also cannot speak highly enough of our wonderful guides. They made sure we were well looked after before and during the tour, and went above and beyond to ensure we made it back to our final destination as smoothly as possible. There was also an excellent translator available so we could ask as many questions as we wanted.
All in all, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to anyone!
