I enjoyed our private tour guide and driver, but felt the tour was way overpriced for what was received. We thought the beach part of tour would be an actual place where we could get in the water but was a drive by the water. Our tour guide did try to make up for it and we had a lovely drink at a restaurant next to the water. Lunch was not available, however, as it was before noon. Tour lasted about 3.25 hours which was less than advertised. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would still recommend but hopefully price will be adjusted for future travelers.

What we were able to see was incredible, but the driver did not speak any English at all. The car was old, with a bad tire, wobbled & did not have air conditioning. We were to have an English speaking driver, but did not pay for a licensed guide. Our driver could not communicate with us at all. We also thought we had him for the day for the $500+ cost, & found out later it was only for 4 hours. Our driver did take us to the beach & pick us up to return to our ship. We would have been better off hiring a taxi at the port.
