Beautiful and great guide - Great tour and really beautiful. Bummer the damn to the waterfall was shut but not the guides fault. The lake and falls area were gorgeous. The temples were really amazing.

A nice little getaway trip - I enjoyed seeing all the locations and having the freedom to roam around. It definitely helps if you have your own travel guides because it is a mostly independent experience once you reach the actual locations, which can be nice if you know what you want to do but maybe not as much if you want someone to directly guide you around. It went well for me.

Bad for older travelers - Driver & tour guide man were terrible Lady was very nice & politely helpful. Felt unsafe as 78plus year old. No time for Coffee at stops. Just bathrooms. Had to use Police help to get taxi at Return drop off station. Woman was nice & helping. Didn’t remember their names Sorry. No stepstool to get in & off bus as high. Feeling unsafe.
