To be honest, we felt a bit cheated. We were advised that the tour would be for 5 hours, but were not aware that the 5 hours would include transport time which left us really with about 3+ hours for the tour. Before you know it, we had to leave.
Secondly, we asked for a guide (English) but only the driver arrived to get us, and while he spoke good English, he was NOT a tour guide. So we really completed the tour simply by using our own observations (information provided at the various locations) and Google.
For the amount we paid US$700 for two, there was absolutely zero value. Our driver was friendly and sociable but that hardly made up for the experience. So make sure you know beforehand, what you’re signing up for. Overall this was a disappointment.
