This tour was more than we could have imagined. We had a great time and loved seeing the incredible sights. Christine was our guide and she was amazing, she was informative and gave great advice. Both the guide and driver made sure that our 2 girls had a fantastic day. At the end of the day the girls said to me, that Christine was so kind and beautiful. Our girls are 4 and it was a lot of walking, I think it would have been fine if it wasn’t as hot.

You can visit multiple attractions in a one-day trip, which is very cost-effective. The tour guides are very considerate and humorous. It's really a very good experience.

Great experience!! The itinerary was generally very good. Although the weather was hot, it was not that tiring after a day of fun. The tour guides Amy and Jessie both gave thoughtful introductions in Chinese and English. They were very energetic and enthusiastic! They also gave us a lot of emotional value, which was very fun! They also took a lot of photos for us. Their skills were great and we had a lot of fun. I really like these two tour guides. It was a great trip!
