Great 1/2 day outing - Great driver /guide. Picked us up at cruise terminal. Enjoyed the drive and cultural village experience - we did not lose our heads (LOL). Driver also stopped so my wife could make a purchase on the way back to the ship.

Experience not to be missed - House of skulls was very factual. The food & rice wine tasting was much appreciated. Perhaps the dogs could be trained not to bark at visitors.
