I would recommend this. - The walking tour was great. Nina, our guide, was very informative and friendly. I arrived late to the tour due to traffic and she was helpful in locating me and getting me with the group. I highly recommend.

Great - The tour was well organized and educating. We were very pleased with our guide May, she was so caring, before every stop to share information she made sure we were in the shade and comfortable. She also answered all our questions we had. We suggest the tour for small group, we were 6 people, it was just right - did not need to wait long time for everybody taking pictures - we could move on in good speed. We recommend the guided tour.

The place is amazing, but not much "guiding" done by the guide - Let's start with the positives:
- The temple and the palace are spectacular
- The people that joined in on the tour were nice
- The guide has gave us each a bottle of water towards the end of the tour which I don't remember was included.
- The tour was fairly cheap compared to other tours.
That's it for the positives. The general issue of this "guided" tour is that there wasn't much guidance made.
We kept losing the tour guide, at some points it was hard to find him afterwards as he was almost hiding from the line of sight, and at a large distance.
Additionally very little information was voluntarily provided during the tour. Most of the information I got was from actively asking him questions, but most of of his answers were short.
Also, shortly after the start of the tour, he told us we need to stop less to take pictures, otherwise we wouldn't have enough time to see everything on the tour. While the group still kept stopping to take pictures at basically every turn (because the place is indeed spectacular), he ended the tour after 1.5 hours, saying he has another group soon.
So I recommend either go with a different tour if you want to learn about what you see.
