A lovely half day away from the bustling city! Our tour guide Jenny gave us an amazing and detailed history lesson, which was so appreciated to put things in context. She’s an experienced tour leader and made the whole experience pleasant and easy. Her level of knowledge of Chinese history is vast.
John was very helpful as well as being a charming and informative guide. He talked about history and answered all our questions. He ordered a lunch based on our preferences but also unique and outside our normal fare. We had a little extra time so we went to an additional stop, and he found us an ATM to get cash, since we had trouble finding one near our hotel. Highly recommend!
