Excellent experience!!

We were about 20 people in the group. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was my second time to take the same your with EFun, and we had a great time. Never take Uber to the meeting point because there can be a traffic in the morning. We had to wait for 30min because others were on the way with Uber :(
