Excellent tour with friendly, flexible guide (Obama). - Met our guide (Obama) at the Kingsbury Hotel, a short walk from the cruise shuttle drop-off at Port Gate 1A. The tuk-tuk tour was an efficient way to get around the main sights of the city quickly, and was itself a fun experience. We visited temples, landmarks, coffee and tea tastings, and ended with lunch in a popular local restaurant.
