Amazing temple tour - Very much worth having a guide to take tou around. Ours was very knowledgeable and really talked us through the history and thr culture. No phones in the temple so be prepared to leave them in a shop where tou will feel somewhat pressured to buy stuff afterwards. But nice guys and not too much of a hard sell. Take water as well..
