Great way to do a lot in one day

My adult son and I did the tour. You could do this tour easily using Just public transportation with some careful planning.However, having a private car, pick us up and take us to each spot was really convenient. Our driver was very nice and very safety conscious. Doing both of these in one day was very helpful as we were pressed for time.
