This tour was all about the transportation to the Golden Buddha and the Marble Temple in a nice van with AC. The tour guide did not share much information about either site - though she did take some photos for us. When asked some questions, she did not have any details or historical conteext to share. If you are looking for a tourgide to tell you about the sites, this is NOT the one. If looking just for ease of transporation, its OK. Finally at the end of the tour they take you to a Gems Gallery, which is just a shopping trip where they get a commission if you by something. It was not advertised int he tour but added when we confirmed. We definitely could have done without that.
