We had a fantastic tour! Our guide was very helpful as we had a lot of people get ill on the tour (at no ones fault, just the way of it while traveling and eating food) and he did a great job assisting them and ensuring the rest of us had a good trip. Our tour group bonded immediately and had a fantastic time hiking to all the temples, swimming in the hotel pools and catching a few beers at the end of the day. All of the hotels were great and overall was a good mix of cultural activities with everything else!Show more
