Nice enough but not much to it for the price. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Mostly rolling through the countryside with multiple quick stops. The restaurant on the stop was excellent.

A VERY Long excursion! Had to wait 30 minutes to depart. Check-in needs to be easier. Hard to find our guide. The guide was excellent once we got started. I was afraid we’d miss our ship departure but had plenty of time
Quite a long bus ride, beautiful at times, boring at other times. The stops included a couple of "hustle" spots. No reason on earth to stop there except that the bus gets a cut of the tourist business they bring them.
Tour went 2 hours and 15 minutes over the six hour tour advertised. Too long for us, we were on a cruise ship and although we made it back on time, it was an added stress. The scenery was lovely though
Unsafe Van. No suspension. Extremely hot, no climate control. Driver speeding all the time even after we spoke to him. Too many unnecessary stops.
I don't know if the tour guide and the driver were inexperienced, but this is what our experience was like. It seemed like every 15 minutes we stopped for a bathroom break which was not necessary. The driver drove too fast at times and one of the passengers even told him to slow down,. I was in the back seat and the heat coming out from the side of the van was too hot. My wife told the tour guide twice how hot it was in the back. He and the driver were making an attempt to adjust the temperature, but had no luck. So it was very uncomfortable to say the least. Also, the tour was supposed to be around 6 hours. It went 1 1/2 hrs. over the time. Way too much. The tour guide was very nice and gave us a lot of information, but I still think we got ripped off.
Interesting tour with a very friendly tour guide.
Our driver Vishun was absolutely wonderful. He made sure we saw all the sites that we needed to see but was very mindful of the time we had to be back to the cruise ship. He took us all over Brighton Island for six hours. He made the trip and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend.Vishun and his company to anyone. We saw the most fantastic fall colors that I've seen in years.
Beautiful scenery. Ari took us to some gorgeous spots and gave us a lot of interesting information about the area. We loved that it was only four of us and Ari in the van so we could stop when we wanted and stay for as long (or as short) as we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed!
