For the price I thought it was a very good tour. We saw so much and it was easy. The guide was adequate, though he seemed a bit distracted throughout the day (I think he was dealing with other work related stuff at the same time). It didn't bother me, but a couple people on the tour were not happy with his relative lack of engagement and information. Again, I thought he was fine. Considering everything we saw and the ease of transport etc I would definitely recommend.

An sich eine gute und informative Tour allerdings mit einigen Hindernissen (musste mich selbst darum kümmern, von Hotel abgeholt zu werden; nach der Mittagspause tauchte der Guide erst nicht wieder am Treffpunkt auf; lange Wartezeit auf die Bootsabfahrt). Das Highlight war der Abschluss am Aussichtspunkt. Die anderen Stellen hätte man im Prinzip auch selbst gefunden.
