Perfect half day temple tour! - We really enjoyed this tour. They give you a good amount of time at each temple which we really liked and didn’t feel rushed like some other tours we’ve been on.

A Very Cultural Experience - We were part of a group of four -one other couple. So it was like a private tour. Our guide Susan was very good and knowledgeable. We had a lot of free time at each venue. A very cultural experience.
