This was a chance to be James Bond for a morning with the super speedboat. The tour of the Royal Barges was really brought to life as the guide had once been a rower in the Royal Barge procession. The temple was even more interesting as a service was taking place.

Really nice easy tour with very good life jackets and great chatty guide. Would recommend and way cheaper than buying direct.
