They were 30 minutes late in picking me up. We only stopped 2 places for pictures or shopping. Shopping was a waste of time. We shopped while the took part on the group to another site. Many places we were told what the buildings were as we drove by. My final stop was to the orchid garden where I had almost 2 hours to walk around before they picked me up to bring me back to the hotel. I enjoyed the orchid garden but I could have done that completely on my own without going through a tour. Definitely not recommended.

The intial bus guy spoke too much and was personal about where he lived etc, but overally even though I got pelted with rain, it was a great experience. Accolades to the driver who picked me up in the pouring rain and took me back to my hotel - Could not have been more grateful. He was lovely and we had a good chat on the way

Interesting tour!!! Beautiful landscape and nature at the Botanical Gardens!!! Delayed in timings, due to group gathering in the morning (1 hour) snd then due to participants, which shortened the tour!!
