Loved this tour. Very relaxing. Only reason I gave a 4 was because I didn't feel that it was made clear that it cost more to get into several of our tour stops. Nominal fees, but the tour itself was not inexpensive. Maybe be clearer on that point for guests. Otherwise, Donald our guide was knowledgeable and humorous. He played music for us a few times that added to the fun. Enjoyed exploring what interested us.
