Excellent tour, very recommended! Visiting the villages is an authentic experience, outside the usual crowds of tourists. You get to see the traditions and the artisans at work, their handmade products like incense sticks and conical hats. The ancient village was impressive, I liked its story and the old houses, visited Mia Pagoda, did a tour bike, and had an amazing lunch with traditional food. If I could rate it, I'd give this tour 1000/100! What contributed a lot to this tour being perfect was Tom, the guide. He planned everything carefully and took care of all the logistics details to make sure I'll enjoy the full experience of the tour. He is very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. Thank you!
