Whole day we kept driving repeatedly and passed through the same roads over and over again. Poorly planned , exhausting and incredibly a waste. The guide did not say ever which area we were passing through, we wondered. Also felt the same at attractions we stopped at. In the end we were dropped at puppet show and asked to go to our hotel by ourselves. I have injured knee, we went wrong way and had to walk back with limping knee. Others , who did not attended the show were also asked to walk to their hotels and dropped at the same place as us. I did not like this trip at all.
