“I took a private tour, they still put us in a bus with minimal views with the tiny side windows. The driver, who is not really a tour guide, was nice and helpful, but was quite throughout the drive. I thought we were supposed to have a professional guide. At least at the end of the day, the "train" ride was unpleasant and the que was more than an hour long. Not cool!
