“Loved the mix of culture with museum visit, lots of street art, temples and street food. Guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I was vegetarian and had made the guide aware but at one location the vegetarian option was to just not have the meat/fish - no substitute which was a bit poor. That aside all the food we had was great - and there was lots of it.”
