The only thing is not what we expected is the tour basically only provided a driver, he did not inform us what’s the next stop, how long will it to take there. There was no water and snacks provided as what it described in the website. He was very quiet the whole time. And he was 15 minutes late to pick up up.”

Offered to charge us $180 more for a private tour in a smaller vehicle. We requested a refund. Waiting on the refund to come thru. So, we rented a car and did the day trip on our own for 1/4 of the cost & we had a great experience. Lesson learned.”
