I would highly recommend this tour. My tour guide, Abbas, and my driver, Ahmed, were incredible, timely and informative. Abbas took the time to explain the important aspects of each of the places we went to and also helped take photos for those memories! I managed to see exactly what I wanted to see in 2 days without feeling rushed. There are only two points where you "shop", however I did not purchase anything from either point and Abbas did not pressure me to buy anything. Thank you once again Abbas and Ahmed.
