Excursions for Taj open on 8/4/12 and while it seems early my experience is that one needs to book quickly to get their preferences. So, I have started to look at the excursions. I am overwhelmed. I guess it is because I know absolutely nothing of this part of the world. One reason I booked the cruise.

I am asking for advice / thoughts from those that have been to this part of the world. What not to miss , what to avoid etc.

I am doing the precruise to Ankor Wat and the post to Taj Mahal

I am traveling alone but would be eagar to join others that have room and are setting up tours on their own separate from the ship. While it adds to the cost my experience is that doing a tour with a small group can be worth while and more fun.
