Perfect day out
Had a fantastic time. My diver was very accommodating, allowing me to set the pace and choose the order of site visits. I have some mild mobility issues and he was very mindful of this and assisted me which I really appreciated. He also made sure to five by some site in the city on our way back to my accommodation. Highly recommend this tour. The temple was incredible.
