Nakul
I recommend 5 stars as I was really pleased with this rightly organized tour. There was no rush anywhere and we could really get into each place and see to our heart and minds content. We were not asked to just hop in and out, instead were given enough time for each place. The bus traveling was fascinating and our driver, Jack was really good in his skills. The same goes with our tour guide; she was exceptionally good with her language and also gave us lot of information about the places we visited around. She was very friendly and nice.
Chang
The bus ride was good and so were the guide and the driver. In fact, both shared the information about places and whenever asked, they gave a good reply. I am sure the tour operator is lucky to have such informative people working for them. I am happy with the room accommodations arranged for us and the food we had was also a nice place and good food was served. The tour operator had given the best that was assured and only the irritating part that spoiled the fun was a batch of 4 boys who were noisy and did not bother about others.
