“It was good to have a male escort as the tour started at 5pm and we were walking after sunset. It was not much more than an escorted walk though. Very little information and only when I asked specific questions. We hardly went in anywhere, except one temple. It was really just a stroll along the river. I had also walked the entire route myself the previous day so it would be helpful if you specify the route the tour will be taking or the guide checks before you set off if the guest would prefer a different route. I also had trouble understanding most of what he was saying.…”
Pick a city, pick a kind of day, and see what it costs.
