Without a boat tour usually, so far ok

Due to high water, the boat trip could not take place. That changes the tour a lot, too bad. So it's pretty expensive too. Guide was good.

Customer Review
It was ok
November 24, 2018
The walking city tour you can do on your own. It was nice to learn about Shiva and how people worship the god and the meanings of it. I didnt get the dinner that is supposed to be included. It was ok i give it 3 stars. Its not worth the price I dont think
