“Excellent tour (and I’m usually very particular and easily dissatisfied). Van was comfortable with AC. Sophy was full of information about each part of the tour and thoughtfully took me through each section (market, floating village, lake). Please note that during part of the year (I travelled in early-mid May) the water levels are low and therefore the village is accessed by driving and walking (only the lake is by boat). Still exceptional and worth a visit. Incredibly interesting.”
