If you want to spend your day cramped in a small bus with no room to breathe, this is a tour for you. Besides getting you to different points of interest, don’t expect much else from this tour. Just think of it as a shuttle and not a very comfortable one. Also, if you happen to board on the last pick up stop, you will be stuck with whatever seats are left because it’s” first come, first served “ bases, so don’t be surprised if you end up on opposite ends of the bus with your partner and spend the whole day stock in a tiny seat in the back squeezed in between 2 strangers. Very poor experience overall with this tour operator.
