“The cooking class was the best part. Otherwise buyer beware. They offered hotel pick up but when I asked what time the pick up would be, we were instructed to meet at a tailor shop in town. Not a huge deal as we went in town early to explore, just shouldn’t be offered if they aren’t going to deliver. Then we were asked if we could ride bicycles but no other details given. After a quick trip through the market, we started on a 30 minute bike ride that we were not expecting and was not in the description at all. Once making it to the bamboo boats, we went…”

“Even if the tour was conform to the description, it was disappointing overall. The biking and the kayaking are done in the same place so you see twice the same thing. And you do kayak in a residential area which is quite ugly to be honest. There is no point in doing kayak if it is not to see something interesting. Also, we thought that the boat tour was in the mangroves as shown on the pictures. But, in fact, you stay all the time in the canals next to residential areas. Also, at one point, you are forced to listen to traditional music singers, which is quite awkward ,…”
