We booked a bus tour, but there were only 5 people participating, so we used a van. The day before, we used what's app to notify us of the pick-up time and tour guide contact information. All the attractions were visited, and the time allocation was reasonable. It was an itinerary that was suitable for both adults and adults.

Our driver, Tommy, was very friendly and helpful. He drove carefully and efficiently, and we were able to get around to our desired locations in a short amount of time. He understood my poor English and gave us simple directions using a translation app.

It was great! Everyone was kind and eager to teach me various things, so I had a very enjoyable time. It was raining, but it stopped early. The local food for dinner was also delicious. I would like to come again on a nice day. I'm satisfied! There are mosquitoes, so mosquito repellent spray is a must!

Honest review: First of all, thank you so much for the tour today. It was a very special day for us and a memorable experience filled with fun. This was our first time, and having a guide Kelvin and pilot (driver) Shafiee as excellent and tanak wagu as you made it even more better. Personally, we enjoyed learning more about the folklore and unique stories associated with the places we visited. We appreciated the background stories, interesting facts, clear explanations, and even learning a bit of the local dialect. We hope to join another tour with you in the future and explore even more hidden gems. Kounsikou for making this such an enjoyable and educational experience!
