Good Shore Excursion From Port

Personal driver for the day in good quality air conditioned vehicle. Managed our time and visits well mindful we were on cruise ship so - shore excursion. Managed to see all we wanted (even though we were later than expected - due to sea tender). Bottled water provided. Driver was very good. Would recommend as great value for money.
