A recent review from February 2024 captures the essence of this experience:

Book a Private tour. You will thank me later - Since we flew halfway around the world to get here we decided to spend the extra $$ and We ended up booking a Private Tour instead of a group tour. It was definitely money well spent. We also wanted to escape the crowds as much as possible with the “D” tour. Jonathan, Reno, and Jonard were the best and made sure we got the trip we were expecting and stopped at spots before they got crowded. We were not disappointed. Good job guys!
