The guide was wonderful…tremendously knowledgeable and friendly…he made sure I got out at certain points to visit the locations instead of driving through them. As a solo traveler, I appreciated that he also took a few photos at one spot so I could actually be seen enjoying my vacation! A very safe and courteous driver as well. Only drawback was the tuk tuk canopy made it difficult to see some taller parts of churches, but he pulled over so I could look out. Highly recommended…

Do not book with this operator. We arrived on time at the arranged location. Driver did not turn up and eventually sent a message saying tour cancelled. No explanation l. No apolgy. There are 100’s of tuk tuk operatives in the city, I I suggest you choose a better one than this
