Our itinerary was somewhat modified but we saw the palace, a temple, gardens, etc. Our guide was informative and kept us safe. We lucked out on beautiful weather and really enjoyed the day. Be sure you are comfortable riding a bike as you will go from sidewalk to road with traffic.”

We highly recommend him and…”
