Highly recommended! - Mr Saman was our guide, He has been an extraordinary guide; we have learned so much. We did the sunrise tour, and waking up early was absolutely worth it. The views are spectacular, and the walk through the forest is wonderful. We are thrilled!

Wonderful Tour - The tour was great, worth the early rise! You basically have the temple to yourselves as it’s not very busy that early. Sunrise view was amazing! It was even better because my boyfriend & I ended up being the only ones on the tour so it was very private. Tik was our tour guide & he was so great!!! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, answered all our questions, & offered to take so kany pictures of us. Thank you Tik!!!!

Awesome temple/hike day - Absolutely wonderful time! The morning guide to see the monks chant at 5am was great as well as watching the sunrise. Tik our tour guide was incredible. Loved every minute of it. Ps. Make sure you say hi to the cat at the 390 step temple in the beginning.

Fantastic tour! - This was such an amazing tour, worth the early wake up. The scenery is breathtaking, especially on the hike. I am also glad this tour does the hike down and not up. It is more pleasurable to take in the beautiful views when you aren’t focused on getting up the hill.
