our guide Tariq sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and mid-week so it was quiet.

our guide Jonas had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Worked great for a solo traveller like me, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
