The tour should be longer or there should be fewer spots. Four hours is not enough for all of the 7 stops mentioned in the tour. Anna, the tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. But she seemed to be in a hurry the entire time. I wish we would’ve had more time or less stops. It just wasn’t enough time to enjoy everything, we were rushing to get from one spot to another.

Either your needs to be longer (like 6 hours) or include less stops. Tour felt very rushed, and was not a great experience. Anna, the tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable, but she just seemed to be in a hurry the whole time. I would just recommend making the tour longer because it is $190 per person. Or have fewer spots so there is no rush.

Our tour guide Dharma was the best! He picked us up on time and took us to all the places we wanted to see! He even waited while we took so many photos and recommended the best spots for views. He was very knowledgeable and very nice! We were happy to have a tour with him and would definitely recommend!
