Very good excursion from the pick-up and drop-off directly at the hotel, the meal in a small restaurant with a lot of choice and the guide Puppy who was very kind, smiling and who made an effort for us who do not really speak English. Too bad that the climb to the temple which is quite difficult is done last because it is very trying.
