We would have enjoyed walking a bit more along the canyon, maybe away from the huge crowds. There was a lot of time spent being driven around and stopping in loads of different places, and some of these stops could probably have been skipped and the time traded for more walking. We enjoyed the hot springs though.

Some of the views were fantastic and the guide was interesting and helpful .... but a lot of time driving and in a cramped van. Also stopping for (charged) lunch and hot springs gave the feeling was too pad the day out (the springs) and generate business for the establishments (hot springs and lunch) rather than stopping somewhere and letting you choose your own lunch. My feeling probably not helped by the fact that the trip cost £50 excluding an almost non oprional buffet lunch but the hostel im staying at did the same trip with lunch included for $20!
