The tour was perfect and walking is great covering most of the place which I didn’t got to visit on the E-bike tour yesterday. The tour guide is professional and knowledgeable, BUT 1 star for the office, WhatsApp me this morning to inform me on the tour information, when i ask for weather information whether should I bring an umbrella, he mentioned that he is not weather forecast company, this is very rude and unprofessional. Hence 2 stars overall, due to rude office staff!
