Great tour and tour guide
John is one of the best tour guides I have encountered in my travels. He has abundant knowledge about the history, geology, plants, etc. of the park and shared them in interesting ways. The tour was very flexible and he made sure we get to see the spots and get the pictures we wanted. Clean vehicle, good supply of snacks and drinks, 100% would recommend this tour!

Normal content, but forced to give high marks at the end
I think the activity content is very normal and not bad, but at the end you are forced to give a 5 star rating. Specifically, we were together all day, and in the final, resounding atmosphere of being driven to our hotel, we were forced to open our phone screens and be told what to expect. Furthermore, you will be photographed on a highly rated mobile screen, possibly to report to your boss.
