Too cramped

3.0Our tour guide was excellent. However, four of us sat in the front seat behind the driver. It was very cramped. My arms hurt from being squished. 3 adults and a 10 year old. It was difficult to take pictures. It would have been nice if the company had offered picture opportunities in the carriage too. I personally would not use this company again.
Had the best time
