The tour was very informative. I would highly recommend it. The temples were phenomenal. They exceeded my expectations. The driver picked me up on time for the 4 hour drive to Belur. We stopped and had a fabulous local breakfast with the famous south Indian filtered coffee (and very clean western style WCs). The driver was very safe and as I was a solo traveller he took some fabulous photos for me. Our guide was engaging and incredibly knowledgable. I called him the Pied Piper because a large group of local school children were fascinated with his expertise and charm. The children were delightful. We had another beautiful vegetarian meal in Belur at a local hotel - paneer, dahl and chiabati. After lunch we went to the second temple. Both were mesmerising in scale and beauty.
