I did enjoy the tour. The sites were interesting, and it was nice just to get out of the city and see what the rest of the country looks like. The guide was prompt and knowledgable. But at our last stop, the ruins of a village in the desert out in the middle of nowhere, the guide insisted I write a review on Trip Advisor right then and there. It made me extremely uncomfortable, like he would leave me out in the desert if I didn't give 5 stars. I hope the tour company will discontinue this practice. The guide also seemed to be sick with a cold, so it was kind of gross to be in the car with him.
