5.00The overall experience was fantastic! Not only did we enjoy views, but the tour guide’s commentary was insightful. We also had the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their daily lives and history. Since the group size was small, our guide was able to give everyone personalized attention.
Been on the mars!

4.00It's definitely worth experience taking this tour. They take you to the backcountry and it's beautiful. I'd not recommend to use personal vehicle as there is a high chance of being stuck in the sandy road as some of the roads have deep sand. As you start. initially the roads is mostly loose gravel but then as you move inside it's only sandy roads The pick up is opposite to the lobby of the view hotel, few steps down the stairs. They have an AC Van and the tour guides are awesome and super sweet. You can also take this tour with your kids and there's no any hike. The only reason I give a rating of 4 is - our tour was to start at Noon but no one from the tour company was at the pick up stop and the tour van came 10-15 mins late so all of us had a bit of unrest as they were not responding on the message
