“The trip was amazing. Our tour guide I think her name is Manal was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She answered all of our questions. The trip itself was very good. The only not that great experience was lunch itself. The food wasn’t the best, and we did not get anything to drink. We weren’t even ask if we want to pay more for that. In my opinion that was strange. But overall it was a great day. Thank you ☺️”

“We booked the semi private tour ( totally worth every single penny). There was 8 of us and made for a lovely small group all day. Tao our guide was full of historic information, funny, professional as well as an exceptional driver on windy roads. He could literally park on a stamp. He captioned our small speed boat incredibly and gave us the best views and lots of time to take the best photos. He was able to drive in and out of the caves and let us swim in the blue caves. A fantastic day if your in any doubt don’t be just book.”
