Great tour and great guide

Great experience, highlight was going on the Cyclo and our tour guide Ashley. Ashley was an excellent tour guide. I was a little disappointed with the water puppet show as I found it to be a little childish and more suited for kids but was a good experience.

Revealing !

We were pick up with a rickshaw, the guide took us for dinner and coffee and finally dropped us at the puppet show with tickets already bought. The ride is extra beautiful at night!
