Hotel pickup, drop-off, bottled water, and a private group are included, but confirm transport costs for Moon Valley.

“The tour company forgot about us so I had to contact them and they gave us a new pickup time. You have to pay for all transportations yourself, the only thing included is the guide and ONE snack. We expected a food tour, which it was not.”
