But the guide only brought me to one bar, no sampling of street food, did not go to the rooftop bar with city view, did not go to a nightclub and did not go to a local cinematic hall. The tour guide was also having few drinks which was not good as he was riding the bike. This tour is simply not worth it. Just take an Uber to Coco Beach and save money.”
