The order follows how many reviews each has, never the commission, and each column comes from the same fields, so the comparison holds.
Number of people who rated each option
The number of ratings for each, with the score in brackets: a score only means something with the people behind it.
Under about ten ratings, the score is as much about chance as about the experience itself.

How far to trust the rating
The tour has a rating of 4.2 from 16 reviews. In the same category, it ranks 251st by number of reviews. The score is positive, but the review count is small, so the rating is early or niche evidence rather than a long-proven record. It is not a bad score, but it rests on few voices.
The rank by review count shows that many listings in the category have more feedback. If you rely on volume of reviews, this tour's review base is thin. Admission included is uncommon in this group: only 29 other listings of 294 say the same. That does not change the score, but it does mark this tour out from the majority.

The figures behind this chart, as a table
| Row | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily high | 13.8 °C | 15 °C | 17.4 °C | 18.1 °C | 20.1 °C | 23.5 °C | 25.3 °C | 25.7 °C | 24.1 °C | 20.7 °C | 17.1 °C | 14.4 °C |

The best time to go
The short format means you are not committing to a long stretch outdoors. July and August have highs of 25 °C and 26 °C; a morning or late-afternoon slot is easier then. May, June, September and October are milder, with highs between 20 °C and 24 °C.
January and February have highs of 14 °C and 15 °C and lows of 5 °C and 6 °C; a midday slot is more comfortable in those months. Because the visit is short, the time of day matters more than the season for comfort.
