My husband and I enjoyed this so much! We had great conversation on the drive, enjoyed the countryside while learning about the places we were visiting. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get out of the city without a lot of people with you. The cab was comfortable and roomy, having the driver, tour guide and us. We went places regular tourists probably don't know you can go.
