“We were picked up on time. The van itself needs new shocks and the A/C was weak. The first stop is pretty much a waste of time. Walk into a ranch and a store next to it. The rest of the day we had a blast. Our tour guide did a fantastic job with transportation, tour guide and translations. Due to highway repair, the drive home was 1.5 hours making it a long day so be prepared. The restaurant has bad reviews but there's new owners. The food was pretty good, the service was great and the view was spectacular. Highly recommend this tour.”
