The actual tour and the guide were good but our pickup time was supposed to be 08.00 and was changed the day before to 14.00. We didn't start our tour until 16.00 and I felt as a result of this late start we were practically running round the tour. It was as if a 4 hour tour was done in 2.5 hours. I'm glad I went but was disappointed with the feeling of being rushed.....I also left it until the week before to book tickets ( my fault ) and paid over £150 for two tickets. I would advise to book well in advance if you are thinking of going.
