Not worth the price. I liked that it was a private tour and we could go as fast or slow as suited us. I also appreciate that we were ahead of schedule and our guide let us stop at McDonalds (just my thing when I travel I know it's not great food :) ). I will also say that there were many other tour groups that we came across, so the destinations seem to be what most tours do, just not sure what they charge. The temple was run down, you take off your shoes and the ground is filthy. The shop was just a local shop, very touristy and expensive. The fruit and vegetable stand was nice, but only took about 5 minutes to see the whole thing, and buying anything wasn't really realistic as we can't bring it home and the resort had all the food we needed. The Village reminded me of the projects. It only took about 10 minutes, then they asked you to buy a "handmade" souvenir, which we saw at every store and I highly doubt were made at the Village. The gardens were nice, but most the flowers were planted and the water features were manmade, not natural. The guide smoked at every stop so you could smell the smoke in the car. He did point out things in the city and was friendly. The car was other than that clean and we were given waters. I would not recommend the tour for the price. The tour was maybe worth 80 FJD for two people at the very most.
