Dress in layers as the weather is unpredictable and rain can appear suddenly. The driver provided a wonderful litany of expertise as we traveled pointing out important historical monuments, buildings, and legends along the way. Bring some cash for a hot or cold lunch. If tipping is not in your culture, please remember to tip the driver who has provided you with a safe, fun, relaxing, and day full of memories.

It was a lot of driving...
It was a lot of driving with little time at the cliffs. The driver’s driving was aggressive and made some of the passengers uncomfortable.
