<p>Overall this is a really good and worthwhile tour but there's plenty of room for improvement. On the cons: At the outset tourists were shuffled around different buses like cattle by rude and pushy guards. Our bus was really small and we had 18 pax in a bus made for 16 - really uncomfortable. There's no dedicated guide on the trip so bring your guidebooks. And there's no clarity of info on what to bring on the desert excursion. And one more: Consider that this is too long a tour to do in two days - most of it is on the bus with toilet stops at tourist cafes. On the plus side, you cover some amazing country and some interesting sights all better with some better explanation, and you can't always stop to explore. The desert excursion is interesting and worthwhile. We were a group of four and, in hindsight, we should have explored a private tour similar to this trip which I'm sure would provide a much better experience and better value overall.</p>
