Perfect tour!! - The tour was given by Shivam. We met him at the coffee shop exactly on time. His level of English was fantastic and his knowledge of the entire area was amazing. Shivam took us into the alleys and workshops of many of the local industries: metal, plastic, leather, pottery, and more., all the while answering our questions and explaining in detail about the local people and customs. This is a tour and a tour guide which we wholeheartedly recommend. 😀
