The tour was great. They picked us up from the hotel and the tour took about 3 hours. The guide, Hoda, was very helpful and courteous. She explained everything and answered our questions. She spoke English well and clearly. She also gave us suggestions on other places to visit and resturants for authentic food. She was just great! The driver, Muhammad, was also great. I would definitely recommend this for others.
