The views were incredible and the guide was friendly and informative

The tour is well organised. There are pre pick-up WhatsApp messages to reconfirm on the day of the tour. The tour by and larger sticks with the schedule, and the guide and driver gives relevant and interesting info about the sites along the way. It’s a pleasant tour.
