It was an overall great experience. Our tour guide, Big David, was superb. He spoke very good English, was very engaging, and made good jokes that kept us entertained throughout the trip. He was also very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the area, and we learned a lot from him. One of the highlights of the tour was the biking trip in the countryside by a small river. It was a great way to see the local way of life, and we got to see some beautiful scenery along the way. The overnight hotel was also excellent and we had the chance to explore the city by night after our arrival. However, we were a bit disappointed with the floating market. It was packed with tourists, and there were more tourists than traders. Despite this, overall, I would rate the tour a 4.5/5. The tour guide, Big David, was fantastic, and the biking tour was a highlight. The only downside was the over-crowded floating market.

The DRAGON KING WAS AMAZING AND SO RESPECTFULLY TOUR GUY…. The service was amazing the buses pretty rain and the tour included many many highlights…for 20 dollars totally recommend them

Over all very fun and no hassle tour especially my husband has disability. The tour guide was very accommodating and very knowledgeable with our questions.
