Creator's Key Takeaways
This is one of the worst tours I think I've ever done. What a complete ripoff.
We got to do all of that and it cost us exactly the same $120, but that was for both of us, so 50% cheaper.
It was a good 50% cheaper and you can have such a better time.
We actually left the tour early. I think that's the first time we've ever done that on an excursion.
