The tour guide Paul is very enthusiastic, humorous and friendly! He will recommend us delicious food and share some small details about safety and shopping. You can go to 5 scenic spots in one day, which is a lot~ The price is already very cost-effective!

Tour guide was cheerful and very informative. We were only a small group in the tour and easy to gather everyone. The tour was done on time with no rush feeling.

I booked a private tour for two people. Although it was more expensive, it was worth the money. It didn’t matter that we were a little late. We were able to catch the train in time in the end. We could also book a group tour by ourselves and change the itinerary to go to a similar place without worrying about disturbing other people. Because both of us checked in and only stayed at each attraction for a short time, we also went on an elephant ride near the floating market at our own expense. We also went to Bubble in the forest and after the rain cafe, but did not go to Dubua cafe. It was arranged. The pick-up and drop-off were very smooth, and I didn’t feel tired even after visiting six attractions. The driver and tour guide are very nice. The tour guide is fluent in Mandarin and can explain each scenic spot. The driver finally dropped us in Central World. recommend

The driver was waiting in the hotel lobby 15 minutes in advance and was very polite. The itinerary was very fulfilling. The bubble in the forest was very suitable for taking pictures and visiting the tall and majestic Panlong Temple.
