Not everything is as stated!!!

Firstly the driver didn't turn up and when l phoned him to ask where he was, he said that he had quit the company. THEY then dispatched ANOTHER DRIVER who broke down. After some to and froing another driver was despatched and he turned up in an old small taxi that smelt unpleasant and was like a shoe box to get in and out of. It would have been cheaper and more pleasurable if we just hired a limo as we dismissed the driver after 2.5hrs and told him to go home.

Discovery of various cultures on a private outing

The tour is private (1 driver, Jay, only for us 🤩), so very flexible on schedules, we were able to adapt them to our program. Jay was really nice, he gave us explanations about his country, the mix of cultures, we learned a lot thanks to him. He also introduced us to the art of batic 😊. We recommend it.
