    I really enjoyed this tour. I would tell anyone to keep in mind that most of it is driving, but the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. My main guide was Tsoki. She was very talkative and spoke English well. She tried very hard to make me comfortable and I appreciated that. The driver was safe, but unfortunately the car they supplied (Toyota Prius) had no shocks or clearance. So it didn’t do well at speed on the highway with the bad roads and got stuck in the sand. They really need a 4x4!
