Our guide Chong was the best! We started at 4:30 to see the sunrise, we did not catch a great sunlight but we still had lot of fun with all the grup. Chong explained all the history and details of the temples. Really appreciate his passion for the job and to communicate clearly all the information. We got lots of pictures together and his son Sal was the best filmaker ;). 100% recommended!!
