Tour guide Yan is very attentive and considerate! My dad accidentally left his coat behind while sandboarding. Tour guide Yan immediately helped to search for it and finally found it successfully. I am really grateful to her! During the drive, Yan also explained in detail the scenery and history along the way, making our journey more fulfilling and interesting. He is a responsible and professional tour guide, highly recommended!

The scenery at each scenic spot is beautiful and unforgettable, and the itinerary is well organized and highly recommended. The driver is very responsible and will send us a text message before departure to inform us of the gathering details and remind us of precautions related to the journey. During the trip, he would also take the initiative to take photos for us, and even helped us take photos with an aerial camera at the Pink Lake.

The whole trip was full of laughter and our guide loved to joke around. The guide stopped at appropriate times to give the passengers plenty of time to rest and use the toilet. The dinner was also very delicious! There was endless wine!
