3/5

Not a great tour. Guide was not full of facts, the tour did not follow what was advertised. I think we were supposed to have three food stops and then a shaved ice stop for dessert. We only stopped at two places. Felt like the guide was trying to spend as little as possible. Was not interesting. Would not repeat.
