Good but overall experience really depends on how good your guide is!

We took Taxi+Guide Package for 25$ per person. We very quickly realized that we were not able to understand our guide properly. It was mainly due to language constraints and sometimes it felt like the guide is repeating a predefined script. A lot of times we could not get satisfactory answers of our questions. The package only for the transfer (without a guide) costs 8$ per person, which would have been a better option in our case. We recommend to do some reading on the sites yourself and opt for this option.

We booked the car and driver option. Our driver Hassan was really nice, he did not rush us at all and was flexible with timing. He was also happy to change the return address on request. We also had to change the start time of our booking, and they were more than happy to change it for us even though we were less than 12hours from the start time. I heartily recommend this trip and especially our driver Hassan.
