A most memorable and comprehensive week´s tour for our 2 families (a party of 10 made up of 4 adults and 6 energetic children aged between 6 years old and 14 years old, so it wasn´t easy by any means!) One family flew in from Singapore and the other from Japan, and on different days as well, but Vivath in his "laid-back" manner organised things so well, it went swimmingly. The hotel was friendly and comfortable, food delicious, tour itinerary marvellous, Vivath (and San the driver, a super and steady driver at that) greeting us each morning with smiles on their faces inspite of a couple of wet days.........cultural education with great fun, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended, and absolutely great value-for-money using locals, which we totally approve of!
