Jacky our guide was fabulous. Provided so much information, took photos and assisted in any way he good. The 6 tourist stops were so good...loved the Big Budda and the coconut ice-cream at Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks is a must! Good way to see the sights at a great price! The only downside was seeing the elephants at the waterfall....luckily we didn't witness anyone riding them (which was on offer), only feeding them. This was the only negative aspect for me and nothing to do with such a good tour...just been prepared if you're an elephant lover 🐘💕

Great tour, our tour guide was lovely and very informative, happy to help and offered to take photos for us on every stop. Cold drinks supplied was a benefit and the stop to try coconut ice cream was delicious. Very friendly guide and driver. I wouldn’t recommend to swim at the waterfall on the last trip, it was busy and we only had 30 minutes before getting back on the bus, so I would recommend trying some of the yummy food stalls there, buy souvenirs etc. we were happy that the tour was finished mid afternoon and were back at our hotel mid afternoon.

Our guide Arm, was very informative and made sure we got a good understanding of each place we visited. Cold water and soft drinks issued as part of the Tour and were very well received.
