Overall great experience, thank you to my guide Veera. I appreciated the small size of our group (similar age and fitness level) which encouraged engaging conversations and gave us more opportunity to enjoy the surroundings of the temples, gardens/parks and palaces. Weather was very favorable and the crowds were minimal (it is the off/wet season for tourists), further elevating the peaceful nature that was intended. Would love to have seem them at night. Also, thank you to our driver.
