Cons:

• "The only thing I can critisise is the size of the seats. I have sat beside an other adult man and it was pretty tight!"
• "We were reluctant to take this tour at first cause neither of us spent 12 hours on a tour and were concerned It might be too long especially if we didn't know what kind of a guide we were going to get."
• "Worst tour operator we have encountered. We booked the tour in advance and even called and confirmed a day before. On the day of the tour they told us they are overbooked and refused to accommodate us."
• "Went on a day tour. Surprised only the bus driver who's subing as a guide. Not a good set up as he can either concentrate on driving or on guiding, can't safely do both."
• "Would avoid at all costs. Ruined the last day of our honeymoon. Due to go on coach trip times stated 8am. Arrived before 8am but coach had departed."
• "My only complaint was the lunch stop was at 1:30 and most restaurants closed at 2:00"
