They tweaked the tour to shorten it on our request as we had a flight to take and still showed us the best we could see. We had some trouble understanding the English our guide spoke but he tried his best. Only drawback was repeated reminders by guide to give big tips which was annoying and awkward. We were also asked if we have credit cards which we said no to as warned by other reviewers.”
