The trip left too early before 2:30. They do not tell us what time need to come. just said 2:30pm So we came to right place 2:25 pm The Operator and group left. so many people we could not find the group. we called but nobody answered our phone call. but we are lucky when we talked with the officers who work front of the door. and He let us come in with a special price.God Bless him.Thank you.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

We are sorry there probably was a miscommunication issue there. Our guides are very professional and comply with the rules of the agency. Please, come again for a more enjoyable experience.

Instead of going in bigger groups...

Instead of going in bigger groups, we a family of 4 had our own private guide focusing on the things we wanted to learn more about. She was a great guide with very good knowledge. Very much recommended. If there is any of you wondering if a private guide is worth the money. Yes, it is!
