Highly recommended! - Wonderful day out of the city. Great to get a glimpse of life outside... first the barren and dry, then up into the green mountains. Karim was a great guide; knowledgeable and friendly. Comfortable vehicle, safe driving, happy to stop along the way to do things we saw like buy fruit at the fruit stalls, taste a glass of wine at a winery. Highly recommended!
