We had a good experience on this tour, with guide Chris. The Valley is beautiful, but you do not get to go to the beach below-you will be driven around through the valley on some private roads, crossing little streams. It is truly a beautiful land/water scape. I wish they had let us stop and get out at the top viewpoint. The rest of the sites are good too-the private waterfall is nice, but very rocky bottom if you're wanting to swim. They provided a kayak to use if desired. The lunch was okay, a bento box. Lots of bathroom stops and lots of TLC was given. Easy, light hikes. Highly recommend, especially if you'd rather not do all the driving yourself.
