and you're not even there yet! As a rough guide, you can get a driver for all day, all included, for 250,000. Naturally, it would be fair to pay the driver for both ways, because it's most unlikely he'll get a fare back, but there and back is not going to take all day, unless you meander a bit. If you're not in a hurry, get the driver to show you some interesting sights along the way and get him a cool drink when you get one for yourself. If you're happy with him, offer to buy him lunch. He may or may not accept, but he will not take advantage of your offer and order the most expensive thing on the menu.
