The day really is yours

Michael_L, Jul 2026

Malik spoke perfect English, real nice guy. He took us to the areas most tourists go to and they were good areas, however, the open agenda didn't really hit me until the day was over. He was asking us how long we wanted to stay or how much time WE wanted. As a history buff I might have put in a palace in place of the bamboo forest. Again, had a great day, loved what I saw, but if you want to go in a more specific direction, your guide will probably be willing to work with you if you let them know.
