Overall we enjoyed the excursion. However there were a few disappointing aspects.
We had exchanged messages beforehand with the manager of the excursion provider including a late request for a change to the programme. However there was no response to that and the request had not been passed on to our guide.
The guide was a very nice young student doing the job part time as he prepared for his exams. He was reasonably knowledgeable but not at the level of all the other guides we had during our shore excursions.
There was no visit to the cashew factory as it was a Sunday BUT we were not informed in advance that this would be the case.
