“Bovilla lake is beautiful, but the tour is very disorganised. Most of the tour is spent in a minivan doing pick up and drop offs. We booked a hotel pick up, but the tour operator asked us to meet in a central location, which we understood to make the pick ups more efficient. We then spent 1.5 hours picking up different passengers across the city. Including a 15 minute stop for one passenger who was in the wrong place. It was then a 1 hour drive to Gamti Mountain/Lake Bovilla, including 30 minutes on a very bumpy dirt track road. The driver was skilled, but it's something potential customers should…”
