Tip from an experienced traveler: choose a guide/tour seller who doesn't require prepayment, has genuine video reviews (not copied text from agencies), and charges a fair price — for example, they paid $13 for quad bikes, $32 for an island trip, $10 for diving; anything above that is just seller markup, not quality.
