I would avoid this tour. It is highly overpriced and the itinerary is very misleading. We did not get any of the free time at the different sites. We were crammed into a small Mercedes coupe and driven around the city. The guides English was not good. My advice is to not do this tour. We complained and the tour operator could not care less.
