Going on a Wednesday morning was... - <p>Going on a Wednesday morning was great--tour ended up being a private one! Tour guide said sometimes he has 20 ppl in a group, so this was great! I also accidentally forgot to schedule the pick-up 24hrs ahead of time, so when we had our hotel call and make the arrangements at 8am, they were picking us up from the hotel at 9am. It was great they were still able to service us with such short notice.<br/>
We also had Pedro as a tour guide---his English was pretty good and he was a pretty funny tour guide and gave us a local's perspective on things too. Very much recommend this tour, especially if you get lucky enough to have a very small group!</p>

The mosque and temple... - The mosque and temple were interesting, but too much time driving. A photo stope at the Cathedral would have been nice. The guide could have provided more information during the drive.

Don't bother - Was just us, so a private tour. First up the Mosque. The arrogant Muslims at the gate made us wait, then still refused to let us in because we were not Muslim. It doesn't look that great anyway, better off at the Arab cafe across the road that has delicious home made delicacies. Next up Buddhist temple. Quite boring, if you have travelled, you have seen better. Next up, the 3 frontier landmark, which was awesome. Look, the tour guide was great, but I'm going to be honest, forget the tour , just take an Uber to the 3 frontiers, will be a lot cheaper and was the only thing worth seeing. The same entrance ticket can then be used to get you back in at night time for the amazing night shows, which we came back for. With an Uber.

This tour should be three hours and... - <p>This tour should be three hours and they only do for two hours and they did not bring us to the shopping stores . They did not bring us to see the church but they took us to see a temple. May be because they only have two of us but that should not be the reason for not doing it completely. The guide is OK with good English.</p>

Before the tour ended, we were brought to a restaurant by the river but lunch was not included. The airconditioning of the van was broken.</p>
