“It felt a bit disorganized. I received several messages stating that I needed to arrive no later than 7:15 or my spot would be cancelled. Yet we went nowhere until close to 8 am. Once we arrived, we were combined with other groups and the poor guide onsite was trying to manage 3 different groups in multiple languages and it took forever. Half the group got sent back to the bus for no reason and missed out.”

“It was short and not very informative. For the same money we did another tour that was fantastic and 90 min of history and information. This old town tour could have provided a lot more historical information but all I got out of it was that there were 900 mud brick houses. .... I took extensive notes on all my tours but in this tour, I only came away with 3 words.... 900 mudbrick houses....I don't recommend this tour. However, the staff were very nice.”

The access to the elephant rock is free. I already had a car on hire and had I known this, I would have never opted for this.”
