The guide, Kate, and the driver were both very kind! It was a bit disappointing that it seemed like a shopping center tour, but it was nice to be able to go to Old Town and back at a low price!

The tour guide was nice and she can took good photos of you. It was a fun tour even if it was raining half of it. I enjoyed the night market and the tour guide even suggested affordable good food which was really helpful.

booking through the service was easy, you won't be able to choose seats for the show, they are apparently given out randomly when you receive a ticket. We were lucky, we sat in the center of the hall in a row with plenty of legroom (for info, this is row H). The show is not bad, but you shouldn't expect super numbers or a musical. You can't take pictures during the performance, except for the last number.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a 90-minute full-body massage at Amari Breeze Spa, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly serene and calming, which set the perfect tone for relaxation.The therapist was highly skilled, attentive, and ensured that the pressure was just right throughout the session. I could feel the stress melting away with each passing minute. The use of essential oils added an extra layer of relaxation, leaving my skin feeling nourished and my mind completely at ease.The facilities were clean, and the staff were professional and welcoming, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. By the end of the session, I felt completely rejuvenated and refreshed. It was exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge.I highly recommend Amari Breeze Spa for anyone looking to indulge in a top-notch massage experience. I will definitely be returning!
