My husband and I had a brilliant time. Our guide Preyankha was simply the best. She was informative, interesting and knowledgeable. Willing to answer our numerous questions, and always with a friendly smile. With her guidance we discovered little streets and lanes which we would never have found for ourselves. The cafe we visited was very attractive with complimentary tasty savoury treats, and we were felt very priviledged to be able to enter the home of a 7 generation home owner and see so many fabulous artefacts. We really appreciated the 8am start, so that we missed the intense heat, and have no hesitation in recommending both Preyankha and this tour.
