Very nice tour. I was a Solo traveller and was very well accompanied by Julie the guide and Patrick the driver. We started the tour with the Kobe beads, then we went to the Giraffe center and we ended the tour by Karen Blixen museum. I was picked up on time at 9am and went back to my hotel by 2:30pm as there was traffic on the way back. I definitely recommend this tour 👍
