Ronnie was a great guide, friendly, professional and punctual. We had great communication from the moment we booked which gave us confidence. He took us to some amazing sights, came inside places to show us around and did not rush us. He treated us to a tasty coconut too! Thanks for a great morning Ronnie 😀

Ronnie our driver was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. He brought the tuk tuk to us and we clambered in. He made sure we were comfortable and asked what we wanted to see. We asked to see the highlights and we weren’t disappointed. He explained what we were passing by on our way to the first stop which was a beautiful Catholic Church then on to beautiful and very colourful temples. He walked around with us again explaining what we were looking at, its history and what things meant to the local people. Ronnie dropped us off at a large, air conditioned mall where we had a lovely coffee and snack. After an hour he picked us up and we went back to the shop. He was such a skilful driver negotiating his way through the very hectic, busy roads. We really had a great time - thank you.
