Knack was our guide for the day and she did an amazing job! We also visited a coconut farm which we didn’t realise was part of the trip, this was a great experience which we both enjoyed so much! Knack gave us great information and following the train market proceeded to take us to local food stalls for some snacks which were all delicious. Highly recommend this tour!
