3.00Maybe we misread the info but this is a self guided tour. They pick you up and drop you off for you to purchase your entry tickets but wait for you until you take your self guided tour. Pretty expensive for just transportation to the Canal but the driver was prompt but spoke very little English.
So much Fun
