Is okay only. the carvings on the main temple wall was nice but feel rush, and Lucia the guide hard to hear sometimes. The tour in Cape Town was more better.

our guide Giulia had so many stories and the carvings on the main temple wall was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in bangkok last year, and spot on for a couples day out, and covered 3 sites in one go. Would book again no question.
