Alex was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and approachable. My only complaint would be that the people in the back of the van could not hear most of his commentary. A little microphone would be a big help. Also the van seats were a little uncomfortable for such a long ride.

Ovi was a great driver and tour guide for our day out, he had so much knowledge and was so friendly! We absolutely loved the tour and would highly recommend to anyone, it is a very long day with lots of driving but that should be expected. We thought it was sufficient time spent in each place and it was a very smooth day overall. Thanks Ovi 😃
