very nice tour of north tour. - It was excellent trip. North side attraction are worth the money. SSR botanical garden is very picturesque and one can easily spend 2 hours here. It is very peaceful as well.
Guide is very professional and knowledgeable as well. he took us through the streets and made changes as we requested.
We also visited the aquarium for 1-2 hours. It is very nice as well. We also requested for beach visit, which tour guide happily took us. Overall highly recommended.
We could do all this since we stayed in north side area. If you are staying in south it might be difficult to cover all.
Note: All tickets needs to be bought by yourself. Keep cash in case card doesnt work. It didnt work at SSR garden.

Provider we are pleased to recommend - We called twice (for two days of privatized taxi for 3 people) on the services of Turquoise Voyage, and we really did not regret it! Seriousness, kindness and responsiveness in the responses make it an excellent provider, whereas the daily rate (3500 rs) was the most advantageous of all the solutions we studied.
Special thanks to our driver Bansy, discreet, very friendly, good advice, and who did not hesitate to give his personal time to allow us to realize the entire program we had envisaged!

We would have needed a... - We would have needed a guide for the gardens, not easy to navigate, lots of walking, hot and humid again, but over all the guide was there for us, although he could use a refresher course on how to be a guide as opposed to being a taxi driver! His English needed some work, but his French was fine when I could understand him, over all fine!
