We planned this as a few days away from work, and I was travelling with my parents and uncle. The pickup and drop points were explained properly, which saved time. We did not feel that places were added just to make the itinerary look bigger. Morning fog changed the plan slightly, but we still covered the important places. The route was covered, but there is room to improve communication and daily timing.

We had limited days, and my wife and two children were travelling with me. The order of stops made sense and avoided unnecessary backtracking. One small suggestion: give slightly clearer information when traffic or weather changes the plan.

The trip was booked mostly for two senior family members, and I joined them. We enjoyed the viewpoints more than the crowded market areas. One small suggestion: send a short evening update when the following day starts early.

Went with my mother and aunt. We were more interested in a comfortable trip than ticking off every stop. The children were tired by evening, so having some free time helped. The order of stops made sense and avoided unnecessary backtracking. The driver knew the route and did not rush us at the stops. For our family, the arrangements worked well.
