Let me start off by saying our tour guide was AMAZING - she was kind, knowledgable and wanted to help make it a memorable day. However, we do feel that this tour was a rip off after looking at similar prices for private tours and the distances we were driven to. You could hire a private guide for 50 and take a tuk tuk around, and we paid four times that - it seems like just for a private driver in a car with AC to drive us in a four mile radius. Also, the tour did not say that our guide would not also be able to take us around the national museum, so we were told on the fly that a local guide would take us around and we should tip him - which we did not plan for and ended up having to give him 10 as that was all we had. That seemed very odd to us for the price we were paying. The tour includes entrance fees but those only added up to about 40.50 for the two of us, again not enough to justify the steep price tag. We made the best of it and had a great day, especially since we were a little tired of group tours, but wanted to give some food for thought for other travelers looking at this tour.
