It is quite a bit of a ride though - 3 hours one way but the transportation vehicle is comfortable and there are ample stops for quick breaks. My only feedback to the tour operator would be to charge more and offer lunch at a better venue. Bee, our tour guide was fun and informative. We had a great time, thanks to her! All in all, a well organized day trip. Would recommend.”
