Knowledgeable guide, good service and unique experience. Temple complex in active use, few foreign tourists. Surprising boat trip. Highly recommended.
A trip to remember

To be honest, we didn't have high expectations of this excursion. How wrong could we have been. When we went, March 9th it was during the Buddhist celebrations. A simply extraordinary place and one not to be missed and will never be forgotten. Our guide was also excellent.
