The cravings were amazing. I was lucky to go when there were very few people so got to look, read and findout from my tour guide the means of the carvings. A must visit place.

Took the tour and found it fabulous. Guide spoke excellent English was knowledgable and friendly. The attractions were stunning and much more that I expected. Lunch was local and the meal had its local flavours in a small local eatery. We went in dec and found that there were no crowds and though cold it was very manageable and preferable to the heat and vast crowds of summer.

I did a one day visit with a driver and English speaking guide. Very convenient to be picked up and dropped off at the hotel door ... even if it's a little pricey. What I would really reccomend though is the local guide... my guide David was great... pleasant company and knowledgeable about all of the stories and cultural significance of all of the carvings. The whole site is a series of allegory... like scriptures telling various religious stories. It made the whole experience so much more vivid and interesting than just looking at the beautiful sculptures without knowing the stories.
