Great tour guide Yande

Nice tour. Especially the tourguide Yande I liked very much. When it started to rain during the tour he did his best to make sure everyone was comfortable and still having a good time.

Nice day out

Had a great day, our driver was lovely. He was polite, punctual and friendly. Bonus, we were the only 2 who booked this tour on the day, so ended up with a private tour! We really enjoyed the walking tour through the monkey forest, snapped lots of great photos, our driver took a few for us. We got to the spot to watch the herons in the scheduled timeframe, but looks like we unfortunately missed their nightly nesting/migration. Found a nice viewing spot to see the tops of the trees they nest in. Can't predict nature I guess!
