Fantastic experience. - Our guide Rose was absolutely fantastic! She told us about the history, took photos, kept us in the know with regards timings. Rose was absolutely hilarious too...The day started with rain, Rose ran all the stairs at the big Buddha with umbrellas for us. The templesare amazing, . For the money we paid every part of the day was a great experience.
