I'm so satisfied!!! I made a reservation in a hurry and went, but it was the most satisfying tour of this trip and I had so much fun. The two people who took my boat were so kind and fun, and they took such pretty pictures of me that I only had happy memories ㅠㅠ The people who took my pictures were also really kind and I'm so grateful! I'll do it again next time I come to Kota!! I really recommend it!!!

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.
