Traveler reviews
The private tour was awesome private...
<p>The private tour was awesome private allowed for some very important flexibility and much more comfort dip in the swimming pool during midday heat at my hotel than I had imagined. Driver was attentive, impeccably clean car and fresh water/cooling cloths throughout the day. Boat/captain was lots of fun tea and snacks set out for each trip for the short 1 hour up the river and 30 minutes back down from the ancient cave/buddhist monastery. My tour guide, Wai Lin Oo, was the best guide I have ever had on a tour. He made regular suggestions and modifications to the itinerary in ways that always enhanced and added to my experience. The temples were amazing, and the local village and sunset over the sacred sites were the highlights of the tour. This package far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it to others.
