4.0This is a wonderfully, relaxing day. My only area of growth for this tour is to allow much more time in the museum with more specific information being shared or a guide that seems really interested in answering what is important to that particular client.
My company guide was excellent, the water buffalo ride is unique, the lunch near the dam is invigorating, and the ability to take photos around the grounds none in museum, unfortunately was excellent.

1.0The tour guide was neither very friendly nor understanding.
Moreover, I expected to see the coconut plantage and learn something about the history and way of life in ancient days. That was obviously not part of the tour at all. Everything was very very touristic and you have to pay for a lot of things extra (e.g. drinks at lunch). Moreover you are expected to tip the employees at the museum, the musician, the waiters, ... As the tour itself was very expensive, I did not have the feeling that this was appropriate.
The water buffalos were treated awfully bad!
All in all, I would consider it as a waste of time and money and did not feel comfortable during this time at all. Therefore, I do not recommend this tour.
