4.00The tour guide Dale is very responsible and experienced and the driver is nice and professional. They did whatever they could to make it a pleasant journey for all of us, like special requests about meals. Long rides every day but they were manageable. It could have been better if there is regulation to minimize noise disturbances resulting from mobile phone usage (like playing video game, the use of speaker phone) on the vehicle.
