By Nancy October 6, 2026 Amongst the best tours I hadAmazing day tour with Mr. Jeep. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about anything we asked him, on top of being very kind, interesting, joyful, polite, well organized and caring. He spoke about interesting facts about the city, the history, the architecture, the Buddhist traditions, the culture, how rice is cultivated and so much more! We enjoyed every minute of our day and highly recommend it.Date of Experience: October 05, 2026
