Our group was my husband and parents, so timing and breaks mattered more than covering extra places. We did not feel that places were added just to make the itinerary look bigger. A short WhatsApp update every evening would make the next morning easier.

I chose this itinerary because two friends were joining and I did not want an overpacked schedule. The drive between places was long in parts, but the scenery made it enjoyable. My parents needed an extra break after lunch and the driver was fine with it. Pickup was on time and we did not have to keep calling for the vehicle. We returned with good memories, which was what we wanted. One thing I liked was that nobody objected when we asked to slow the day down a little.

I chose this itinerary because my cousins were joining and I did not want an overpacked schedule. Even when traffic slowed us down, the driver stayed calm and adjusted the plan. We did not feel that places were added just to make the itinerary look bigger. The hill drive itself was one of the nicest parts of the trip. We enjoyed the trip and would only suggest more detail about the longer travel days.

Went with two senior family members. We were more interested in a comfortable trip than ticking off every stop. We had extra luggage and the driver helped us fit it without making an issue. No major complaint from our side. We skipped one minor stop and used that time to rest, which suited our group better.
