5.00Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for people wanting to go beyond just ticking places off a list of must visit places ..!! It turned out to be one of those amazing experiences that STAY WITH YOU long after.. thanks to the captivating narrative spun by the guides. Their seemingly simple stories of the temples were loaded with history, mythology, architecture and culture. From the likes of understanding the types of temple architecture to knowing the significance of a carving that kept appearing across temples... it gave us so much to chew on. It could have easily been a tour where we could have just visited the major temples and admired the surreal art set in stone, a few facts thrown in here and there. But this tour took it to another level with the RELEVANCE and PERSPECTIVE they brought :) Kudos team Gilehrio!! :D
