Hat trotz des Starkregens Spaß gemacht. Andy, unser Guide, war sehr bemüht uns nicht im Regen stehen zu lassen und die Geschichte der Stadt rüberzubringen. Sehr empfehlenswerte Tour!

This tour has some very interesting parts in the beginning, but then is less engaging. The faxt that we were briefed to perform a religious ritual in the temple to me is crossing a red line. I left the group.
