They provided a car seat, which was nice, but the car seat was a bit dirty. We only wish we had more time to spend in each location because it was a very quick stops even though it was a long day.

“Be prepared for a long day. The guide, Pierre and driver Shimon did a fantastic job. Maybe in future a trash can can be provided closer towards dropoff once the tour has ended, as I noticed a lot of passengers left the bus very dirty and did not pickup after themselves. Another thing is there was a group of passengers who were CONSTANTLY late at every stop and delayed our departure from point to point. On a group tour as such, it is imperative to be considerate of everyone and that was really annoying. They got "unappealing looks" from everyone on the bus each time they were LATE. The overall…”

“Guide great and didn’t talk the whole time but a good balance. Lots of history. Small bus but comfortable. Phone usb on ceiling I wish he’d told us about. Didn’t notice for a while but glad I saw another tourist using it. Great on a small bus. Only negative for me was the temperature in the bus. I didn’t want to ask twice since no one else seemed to be bothered but it was cold to me. Anyway, south coast is spectacular and I recommend over golden circle for outstanding landscapes and dramatic scenery. Love this and the tour guide. Great!Read more”
