The driver and guide (2 in 1) - Aidan Jones, he is the only reason I rated this tour 3 stars. It is not the tour for 1 day and you know it for sure. Everything too fast and without Aiden stories it would be a disaster. The schedule for one day trip should be changed if you respect your customers.

The sceneries were just awesome. The reverse trip travelling arrangement was a good move to avoid the crowds. The guide/driver (Bill?) was really fantastic. He had good knowledge of the present and past of the area. He was friendly and helpful. In a nut shell, this was a fantastic trip.
