The tour guide explained very seriously that there was still a lot of snow in mid-March. The scenery was super beautiful. Although the bus took a long time, it was very comfortable and worth it.

We had a packed day, and despite the snow, we were able to visit every place as planned. Eric was great—he made sure we knew the itinerary and kept everyone on schedule so we wouldn’t be late. His organization and clear communication made the tour smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Very good tour guide, the itinerary is also very beautiful, I hope that the late guests can set a waiting limit, and don't wait for her in the whole car... Other people's time is also precious

I recommend everyone to take part in this one-day tour. It is definitely worth the money to have a professional driver and tour guide to lead you. They also did a great job in managing road conditions and time! Jin Yan is a passionate tour guide. She takes good care of every tourist and recommends a lot of local delicacies to everyone, making this activity a better experience.

The package tour has a special car to pick up and drop off, the transportation is very convenient, and it is also easy to purchase. It is worth recommending. Some itineraries are relatively short, but basically everything is visited, which is very fun.
