Intelligent and informative rickshaw operator. Was entertaining and also had to moved two heavy gentlemen up a very demanding course over an hours' time on a very hot and humid day .

Great experience just keep it to 45 minutes
We thoroughly enjoyed the hard work and conversation and explanation on our Rickshaw. The area is amazing and crowded and certainly the Rick show makes it more enjoyable. The only thing I would question against is when it’s near the end they offer for another $50 another 45 minutes. They take you to a spot park the rickshaw and you walk most of the 45 minutes into the bamboo forest and then they take you back. Felt the second part for the additional $50 was not worth it. Skip it in my opinion.
