It could have been better if we stayed a little longer in our destinations, the tour was really nice especially the sky lantern experience,but I think they are little rushing. It’s not actually 5 hours tour, more like 3 hours.

The actual tour duration was a lot shorter than the advertised 5 hours as apparently a cushion is built in to allow for traffic more likely an issue on weekdays. But it was very nice - especially liked the waterfall...
