Although this was a private tour without a guide, our driver proved to be an excellent guide himself! He spoke English well and gave us loads of information along the way making our experience quite memorable! The car was clean and comfortable with drinking water provided . The whole tour was flexible according to our priorities. Very enjoyable day, highly recommended.

I travelled together with my partner, it is not the first time for me to see these monuments, but a first time for him. Our driver was really nice, the whole experience was quite okay, and my partner really enjoyed it. :)
