“Jill picked us promptly at 9am. It’s a private tour just your party and the van accommodates up to 9. Jill was very informative and she is proof of the country’s rich culture. This tour is worth taking because the temples are far and she accompanies you throughout the tour. Other companies are self guided. This company does everything it says in the itinerary. Highly recommend this company.”
