Many companies apparently do not do sharing tours so as a solo travel if was great to be able to join in a share the vehicle cost with others. Faisal was friendly courteous driver. They took extra effort doing a good job splitting the tourists amongst the vehicles so you got to sit with other people speaking your language with Team France, Team Germany, Team Anglophone etc!
