5.00We were so lucky to have David as our guide in this private small group. He brought us to very pretty places and took many pictures for us! We got special interactions with goats and enjoyed a very nice lunch. He was passionate in introducing the city to us and shared many popular and famous museums, chocolate and ice-cream shops with us. They are all optional and prices are affordable. All admission fees and tickets are included and he helped us arrange everything. This is so luxurious and we only need to bring out sunglasses and enjoy the sun. The duration of the journey was perfect that everyone can relax along the beach and return to hotel before we are too tired! And he has a nice song list! I believe this tour is best for family and friends who prefer a small group with comfortable atmosphere to join.

5.00Glow worm cave was wonderful. Not crowded. Breakfast at Utopia Cafe was unique. So was lunch at the golf club. Final stop at Haron Flight Vineyard was unexpected and a delight. Dave was an excellent and safe driver. A memorable tour!
