This was a great tour but Guy talked the ENTIRE time so if you like that kind of thing then this is for you. We did NOT stop and get out at every location. I wanted to get out at the first beach the water was beautiful but he said it was a "rest stop" only. I was not informed prior to that we weren't going to be able to get out at every stop. So of course I'm thinking I'm going to be able to get great pictures on a beautiful beach. However we did stop at a beach but it wasn't as pretty. Again, this was a great tour, I was just really annoyed with Guy talking the ENTIRE time and I wanted to be able to get out at every location that was on the map and told to me that we were stopping at. Other than that Guy was a great driver and very knowledgeable. I would not do it again. Also we only were given 8 different things to choose from for lunch. And it was $20 per person. The picture that's shown on the flyer for food is not even an option for food. So false advertising on the flyer. I actually wanted a 3course meal even if it costed more. But that wasn't an option and they only take cash. So he will stop you at an ATM.
