We enjoyed learning about the temples from a very experienced guide. We were advised to be there early. I am not sure why. The guide was not there until the scheduled start time!

Rosanna was incredible! So knowledgeable and very helpful when we had a hard time finding the meeting point. Cannot recommend the tour enough - especially if you’re able to book with her!
