Caves, temples, mosque and markets - What an amazing tour. Aru was a brilliant guide. Very informative and had loads of historical detail for us. Also practical details - ie taking shoes off at temple, covering legs, where the restrooms were situated. Would definitely recommend this tour. Comfy car and a good driver.
