The guide only spoke during the bus ride to site. It wasnt clear when I purchased the tour that it did not include the entry to the Temple. The guide did not guide us through the Temple and didnt speak much about it on the ride there. The bus only had single seats available when my husband and I boarded but there were 2 seats behind the driver and 2 seats behind the guide that they wouldnt let us use so we had to Sit separately.

The tour that we had booked stated that entry to the temple was included, but when we arrived we were told we had to pay an extra 20EURO to enter the temple. When we challenged the tour guide, he clearly knew of the issue and advised that this was a "misunderstanding" on the inclusion list. This was highly frustrating for us and in the end we felt we had been taken to the location under the false pretence of included temple entry. In the end we reluctanctly paid for entry as it was a one of visit that we woudlnt repeat, but we felt almost "held captive" by the location. The bus ride and the temple were good though, but we felt bad for the tour guide as he was under pressure from lots of our group as a result of the "misunderstood" listing, and has clearly faced this issue in the past as his response was well rehearsed.

Excellent service and bus trip and the sunset is awesome. Only bad but is the cafe there, which isn't the organisers' fault, but the food is not great and the service is terrible.
