4.00This was a fun tour. It wasn’t private though, we were touring with another couple. That was fine for us, though we did book private. Also, the GPS location had us in the wrong spot for meeting our guide. Guide didn’t have any identifying items so that was stressful. Lastly, it was 2 hours, not 2.5 as our guide had another tour lined up. It was very enjoyable and our guide took our picture at two spots. Learned quite a bit and found places to come back to later on. Ended at a local market!
