Really enjoyable day exploring these hidden gems. The ancient city had amazing panoramic views and the cave was spectacular. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough time at the river I could have spent hours there. Guide was knowledgeable but sometimes hard to hear in the cave. Great value for money overall.

The ancient ruins were interesting but not very stroller friendly. Kids loved the cave but got tired on the walk back up. River lunch stop was nice but service was slow. Guide was patient with children but focused more on adult interests. Okay experience but not ideal for younger families.
