When he picked us up he already had our offerings (flowers & a basket of treats) already prepared as well as the clothing we changed into. He was extremely knowledgeable and even found us a special spot where we could buy beautiful souvenirs that we could see being handmade. We 100% recommend this tour and Mr Lucky as your guide!!”
