It was really enjoyable to go through and see some parts of the capital city and other parts near the city. It seems a bit expensive for what you get, as the guide is hard to understand and the guide is focused on one side of the journey, so those sitting on the left sometimes had a hard time seeing what was being described. Nonetheless we were very glad we went especially because the weather was gorge
