our guide Aiko sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Worked great for a solo traveller like me, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and handy if youre short on time, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

Not bad but not great, a little local spot off the usual route we like but 6 stops in about 3 hours only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Tariq really knew their stuff and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
