2.00Potentially a good tour if you get a good guide. Our guide was one of the worst we’ve ever had on a tour, and we’ve done quite a few. He forgot 2 of our requested stops and had to circle back, costing us time. He seemed to be deciding what to show us as he went, there was no plan. Very disappointed.
This is a must do splurge
