Trevlig guide, men väldigt hastig tur. Inte mycket utrymme att besvara barnens många frågor under turen och att se ordentligt, utan vi var tvungna att gå vidare i en väldig hast. Mycket turistigt och vi såg inte mycket av deltat, körde bara över floden och sen var vi framme på ön där alla visningar skedde. Såg ingen flytande marknad eller vardagsliv på deltat. Rekommenderar helgdag för att få en mer rättvis bild av deltat. Lång färd hem, vi hamnade mitt i rusningstrafik och hemma 2-3 h efter utsatt tid med hungriga och trötta barn och vuxna som följd.
