5.00A very good tour. Sathesh was a great tour operator and picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back. The high light was the National Mosque-it was very beautiful and peaceful. Our guide had a lot of great knowledge of the area and was fun to hang out with.
I do not recommend

3.00Medium. The driver did not accompany us on the excursions, just dropped us off in front. He significantly shortened the time of the visit( 1 hour) by zapping Indian district and nd gave us no explanation about Chinatown. In short, a grab driver would have done the trick with some very general explanations about the country
Great tour

5.00What an amazing tour. Aru was a brilliant guide. Very informative and had loads of historical detail for us. Also practical details - ie taking shoes off at temple, covering legs, where the restrooms were situated. Would definitely recommend this tour. Comfy car and a good driver.
