We enjoyed our tour and it is a long day. It was an interesting and informative adventure. The very southern portion of the road was very rough! Our tour guide was very friendly but in some cases he pointed out things as we were passing or had already passed the place or site. It would have been better if we stopped for pictures or at least were warned and slowed down as we passed. We made two bathroom stops where the one place was completed closed and the second one where two port-a-potties were being loaded on a truck and taken away, while the third remaining port-a-pottie was padlocked!
Boy, so much went wrong on this tour. 1 Tour started late 2 Because of driver being late/replaced they provided us with a free breakfast not part of the tour, our group got a very, very rude waitress 3 the Tour office over-booked so our group of 8 was to follow another bus. Only we were always ahead of the other bus. Our bus driver didn't know the stopping points of the tour so we spent the whole day on and off the bus and not where we were suppose to be. I asked for my money back upon return of this turn and would not recommend to anyone one else. They only gave me half of my fee back. LJ/KC
It was ok. Long day. We had a few issues w/ scheduling and buses. There are certain places you cannot stop because it's a tour bus e.g. Twin Falls, and the Bamboo Forest. Overall it's ok. The tour guide was nice - great when we stopped at the beaches. Sandwiches won't fill you up - bring your own snacks.
