4.00The tour was very well done even in the rain. The main thing you should be aware of is that the tour does not have hotel pick up and drop off. You have to find your own way to the pick up spot and back from the drop off spot which was different than the pick up spot. Because we were dropped off at a food market we had no idea where our hotel was. We couldn't get a taxi because it was raining and they would not stop for us. We went to a hotel to ask them to phone for a taxi but because we weren't a guest there, they wouldn't do it. It took us 2 hours to figure out how to get to our hotel.
Leo was absolutely amazinggg
