This was a private tour and Lucky had ensured the day is completely filled with various places to visit. He is knowledgeable and his English is great. The vehicle is extremely comfortable and you are able to keep your device's topped up as believe me you will take so many pictures and videos. Highly recommend whether you are a group or solo.”
