Amazing cultural experience

5.00What an amazing tour and the way how to explore the local community and see the real life of those people living on the water. Victor as our tour guide was amazing, he explained us a lot and he was doing his job really well! I would 100% recommend this tour. Despite it was only 1 hour, we have seen 3 villages and were able to watch the local life.

5.00Myself and my aunt were travelling together and decided to do this private tour. If you are interested and enjoy seeing and learning about culture then this tour is highly recommended. Our guide was Jay, who was very helpful, knowledgeable and caring. We saw a local way of life without bundles of tourists - we were the only ones. Thanks Jay for giving me and my aunt a rare once in a lifetime experience!!

Our guide Jay was enthusiastic and informative. The communication from the company was excellent. We were captivated by the dancing of Dewi. This was an authentic experience that we would encourage others to experience.
