While the tour is daily, please take into account the notes as follows:

- It may not be a great experience during summer time when it's 35-40 Degrees Celsius or when it rains.
- While Paradis sa guides choose the restaurants and food stalls carefully, hygienic conditions are still in question given nature of these places, especially in the summer. Our guides will talk to you before departure about your preference as to we dine on the street or have lunch at a local food court with similar dishes.
