Completely over priced by an extortionate amount. You are basically paying for 4 car rides and 2 entrance tickets. You can use careem to take you everywhere and buy the tickets online. The tour guide they give is basically a driver. The tour is conducted at the sites by the tourist office.
The elephant rock was closed and sealed off then we got there and another guide informed me that the train station is closed long term while it’s turned into a hotel.
