our guide Ana sorted everything for us and the carvings on the main temple wall was the highlight, and perfect for first-timers, and skipped two ticket queues.

our guide Omar sorted everything for us and the view from the old fort ramparts was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in Phuket.
