“Save your money for a real tour, the cost is inadequate. This is a average 5 site-seeing stops ride in a van starting at 7 pm, about 2 hours long. Sunset is fine, and the other sites too (if sky is clear). Driver is in general allright. But when we asked what in that tour cost for 150 usd per person, they answered “this is because of dinner”. Which looks more like 20 bucks for person really. Do not recommend.”
