Excellent guide and enjoyable tour.

Ravi was an excellent guide. He was such a font of knowledge, that he answered all of our questions on the 1 hour ferry ride each way, which madethetripseemmuch shorter. The caves were interesting, with an excellent local village guide, and definitely worth seeing. I would highly recommend Ravi and this tour.
