Comfortably car the snacks and water provided and the driver was great accommodating everyone.
Wualeed was an amazing guide. He was patient, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to everyone.
We had a wonderful full day and our guide was exceptional! We embarked on a rainy day, but that did not hinder our experience. The guide provided his own commentary and supplemented with additional info based on GPS; I learned so much and was able to truly appreciate each site. This company went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible experience.
