Not a pleasant tour. no explanation for the city, the driver has complain about everything that's all I hear
The "guide" is actually a good taxi driver but a poor tourist guide. The same result can be achieved less expensive by using grab

The driver was kind, but it felt a bit like in a hurry. I booked the half day private tour with extra pick up from my hotel (half an hour away from the center) and total time was less than 4 hrs. He was not aware that I had booked the caves , I had to tell him. So, it was okay, but I have had more engaginf experienced.

Aris, was very knowledgeable and engaging. We opted for the private tour and wasn’t disappointed. We were provided with bottles of ice cold water and curtesy drinks along the way. Nothing was too much trouble.
