5.00Great authentic local experience - highly recommend! Tin was a fantastic knowledgeable English-speaking guide who gave us a comprehensive tour of the prison, took us to the best local food and drink spots (tailored to our preferences) and the lively train street! Very fun and delicious day out and felt very safe with each of the guides on the back of the Vespas!
