5.00Our guide Dora was amazing. She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. It’s obvious she loves her job. It is a long day. We left at eight and got back around 530. Both attractions are amazing especially the amphitheater. My only complain is car was a little small for a long day on the road. Thank you Dora for a great day.

5.00I highly recommend this tour. Everything went great! We visited wonderful places, and our tour guide, Mr. Ridha, is an extremely competent professional, who conducted the tour in a very informative and friendly way, speaking impeccable English. The driver (unfortunately I forgot his name) is also a great professional, who drove very safely.
Great!
