“Driver was on time and efficient. Orientation breakfast was about as sparse as can be - toast and coffee - so eat beforehand or bring snacks. There were a lot of guests but everything was well organized and ran smoothly. The tour guide (Thon?) was the highlight. He was funny, informative, helpful and made sure we all stayed hydrated. Lunch was pretty good - honestly, better than I expected. We had an epic day and saw amazing sights. One of the highlights of our trip.”
