We took a one hour tour. We had a 9:00am reservation, but at 9:00 there was not a mule in sight. I called Royal Carriage and they finally determined that he was on his way and eventually he did get there. The drive was interesting, but we could not hear much of what the guide was saying. He had no sound amplification, so unless we hit a quiet spot and he turned around, we really didn’t know what he was talking about. We took a pedicab tour that was infinitely better than this.
So interesting!
