5.00It was a very well organized tour. Our guide did a very good job by telling lot of background information and sharing the history of the places we visited. 'The captain' did also a good job by driving us around and telling a lot about the religion and pagode. Book this!

5.00An awesome trip in the nature! Congrats to the guide, he knows the jungle so well, that he's going bare-footed! He told us so much about animals, history and how the people here were living. It was not a problem for us, but keep in mind that the hike is difficult, you even have to climb rocks in some places.
