our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and the view from the old fort ramparts was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Phuket last year.

our guide Carla was brilliant and the hidden crypt the guide unlocked was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and covered 3 sites in one go, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question, 10/10
