There was a driver and a guide. The car was nice. The guide’s english was very good. He told us more than once that we have time and if we need to see something else or go somewhere to have lunch we can easily do it. We visited all the things listed here. But to be honest we don’t think if the guide is necessary here. Just a car with a driver probably is enough. That’s because the guide can’t go inside the tombs. So most of the time he was waiting outside. If you spend some time on research about these tombs we think that you can save some money on the guide.
In the middle of the trip we visited also one place that wasn’t in our trip plan and we think it wasn’t necessary. The guide took us to the place with stone figures and souvenirs. The owner of the place explained the process of creating the items and showed us a shop-like area without any visible prices. He repeatedly emphasized that the prices were excellent and that everything was “original” and handmade. However, the prices were quite high—much more expensive than similar items available on the street. We felt like he was really pushing us to buy something. We told him multiple times that we are not interested but he still encouraged us with good prices. We didn’t buy anything and he was not really happy about that. At the end, the trip was good but nothing special.
