We were on a SE Asia cruise and booked this tour instead of one offered by the ship. It was one of our most enjoyable experiences of the trip. Jo, our guide , picked us up on time and right where we expected. She worked with us to customize the tour and even made some last minuet changes to minimize wait times at some sites due to traffic from the ship. We never felt rushed and got to see many interesting and diverse things in the city, within our limited available time. Leila Eldian, the local tour manager, kept in touch with us before the trip as well as on the day of the tour, and helped us work through some last minute changes due the a change in the ship's schedule. I would highly recommend this trip and be sure to ask for Jo to be your guide.
Thank you so much!
