“Magical boat ride and Temple tours”

Nobu was a great guide. He was in contact with us on regular basis leading up to the trip with the outline of the day and meeting point as well as organising a car. He was informative and never rushed us. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary he had set out for us. Highly recommend!

Nobu S.

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. This area is near my hometown and is full of attractive spots, but since it is not widely known, few people visit. I would be glad if more people learned about it and visit.
