The trip was very good. The transport arrived at our hotel on time and we were provided cold water throughout the journey which was needed in the 40c heat . Mr Mony was an excellent guide, he spoke very good English and was funny as well as having a good knowledge of the history and area. The picnic exceeded expectations and ended up being the highlight of the trip Also our driver (I think he was called Mr T) did very well negotiating the difficult roads Overall a good trip
