By the way, did I happen to mention that Kai was great!”

The tour was exactly as promised and covered everything promised without rushing us. Our guide Dadapir also was great. We especially liked the fact that though he followed the Muslim faith, he was very knowledgeable of the Catholic faith and respectful of the same. He was attentive and was able to answer all our questions. All in all a great job and others in our group felt the same way.”
