We had a great day from the time Ansom picked us up at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and tailored the day to our family. Our family has some food allergies and he was able to order a great lunch that everyone could enjoy. He was very understanding with our kids when they got tired. I would definitely do another tour with him.

Both tour guide and chofer were very professional and punctual. Jimmy,the tour guide, was very knowledgeable in providing historical facts about both palaces. He was also very patient and helpful in assisting me in getting around stairs and hoping on and off the boat. The lunch was excellent. Recommend highly comfortable walking shoes.
