Fun experience! - Our tour guide was amazing, making sure we were all safe and present, reminding us of the time and entertaining us with many jokes during the informative sharings. We cycled—which was beautiful, explored the ancient capital, had a buffet lunch, took a boat ride in a river and did a hike. Everything was impressive and more enjoyable than I had expected. Would definitely recommend!

Komtak Tour - It was fun. The weather also cleared up. The view from the canoe was great! It was nice to take so many photos that I couldn't in Japan. I look forward to participating again!
