“Pick up was way too early. We went on a minibus to go to a bigger bus. We waited 30min in the big bus for other people to arrive. The temples were pretty but maybe too much free time on site and not enough explanation about the life in the temple etc. Food on the cruise was good, just the cruise was too long.. to be fair only the last 40min was worth it ( more than 3h cruise).”
