4.00I did the half day tour. I was under the impression you could make a hat but you get explained the process and then paint a cheaper premade hat. Incense visit was a nice view into the real life these people live. It felt like we stayed at each portion a little too long so we were all sitting waiting for transport to next part. They really packed it in so no seat in the van was empty literally even someone sat in the front passenger seat. Nick was a great guide.
Read the explanation carefully

3.00The actual experience was as expected however the additional money we were asked by to pay for transfer was unexpected. It was explained as a land tour so we had to pay additional money for pick up and return to the hotel. Very confusing and felt unfair.
Fabulous tour.
