Could have been great, but wasn’t. - I want to start by saying our driver was super nice and wanted to make sure we had a good time. However, there were lots of issues which put a damper on the experience. I expected the ride to be about 3.5 hours, but within the first two hours we stopped; I thought for snacks. This was not the case and the driver ordered breakfast which I felt he should have had before picking us up. He did buy us pastries which was sweet. A few hours later, we stopped for tea at his request. Our 3.5 hour trip took over 4.5 hours to get there. We then got lost because the driver was not familiar with the area. We had to stop and ask for directions. In my opinion, he should have mapped it out ahead of time. He was merely a driver and not a guide as he was not familiar with the area or history which was a might disappointing. Leaving one of the sites he backed into a light pole and spent almost an hour dealing with that. He did not ask if we were ok, nor did the tour operator reach out to us. We were pretty much done at that point and asked to make our trek back. Again, we stopped twice, once for tea and another time I’m not sure what he did. We were not provided water as stated in the description, but we were prepared and brought our own. For the price and value of what we got I do not think this was worth it.
