It's a great tour (if you want to go to lots of places) - When I come abroad, I want to visit as many tourist spots as possible. This tour will take you on a motorbike and will take you to some of the sights that you won't be able to compare to other tours. We had a meaningful time. It took about 4 hours, so I used it before the last flight.
