We were supposed to have an audio guide so we would be able to identify the important sites as we passed them on the boat. The audio guide was the reason I chose this tour over another one I had booked. When I asked the young man who showed us on the boat about the audio he said “no man” in his limited English. I guess that meant no audio. We were very disappointed with that. The sites were beautiful, but we had no idea what we were looking at. The man who arranged the tour thru GYG was very helpful in getting us transportation from the airport and to our hotel.
