Incredible Sightseeing Tour! - This was a great private tour, Princess and her husband were excellent hosts. This was a nice combination of getting private transportation and local insight as well as letting us tour the locations at our own pace. We were able to cram a lot of sightseeing into one day because of this tour, as well as obtain some local knowledge from locals. My only hang up with this tour was how awkward I felt having them wait at the car for us to finish touring a location, but they assured us it was fine (I suppose it was what we were paying them to do, but it still felt weird). If you want to see a lot in one day, I recommend this tour!
