“Overall great even though there were hiccup and delays due to cockroaches in the car. A suggestion - Many of Viator visit plans are for minimum 2 people. If you are on business trip and want to go for a trip during a break day, that does not work. Suggest to support Solo travellers too. Shared bus for travel is fine in South east asia too.”
