We were picked up by a driver and a guide. We had comfortable ride with them. Guide was knowledgeable. Tour was really nice actually. Company owner, guide and driver were very friendly. However, we found the tour a bit pricey(although it was cheaper than other similar tours). Because we also paid for entrance fees for the sites. So whole tour costs your 180-200 USD and I don't think that it should cost that much.
