It ended up being a completely private tour - me and the driver and the tour guide! Roy was as knowledgeable and also arranged for us to use elevators to avoid the slippery conditions on stairs in the rain, which I appreciated. The temples are beautiful. I was happy to not have to stay for an hour at a temple when k had seen everything - which is what was set up for a small group tour. English was a tad bit difficult to understand but it was attempted.
