5.00Knowledgeable guide. On time and willing to answer all our questions. Able to adapt the tour to accommodate our needs. I would recommend this tour.
Abandoned by the guide mid tour wasn’t ideal

2.00It appears this company have various guides. Some are seemingly rated highly. Our guide had terrible English - and I accept we are not in the UK of course, but to be barely comprehensible is unfair on the guide and the guest. Unfortunately he then failed to meet up with us at the point he told us. So we were abandoned 2/3rds of the way through our tour. Stood in the sun for 20 odd minutes waiting for him to turn up then went back to our hotel. Yes we were contacted about an hour later but not the best experience and I wouldn’t recommend the tour.
