Fine
Driver was 20 mins late to first pickup so we ran late to do our first tour at the museum so we had to do our tour in reverse order. We had no guide. He was nice but he just drives and drops you off and the onsite guide takes you while he waits in the van. Could have just hired a driver to take us there cheaper. Museum and cave were ok but not very informative tbh.
