Highly recommend tour guide Kan! He is very professional, humorous and polite. He explained everything clearly and patiently. What’s more, he picked me up when I couldn’t find the parking lot, which made me feel so warm and safe in a foreign country. It was an amazing trip experience, definitely 5 stars!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you had such a great experience with Kan! We’re especially pleased he could help when you had trouble finding the parking lot. It’s those small moments that matter most. Thanks again for choosing Westar Travel. We hope to see you on another trip soon! Kind regards, Westar Travel Team
The tour itself is not bad even though you don’t get to spend a lot of time at each location. With their multiple pickup points and waiting time for the participants at each locations, we ended up spending more than 12h on this tour since we were the first to be picked up and last to return. The worst part was definitely the 31,50$ option meal plan that was highly recommended we took upfront. The food that was served to us was rushed without offering any choice, overcooked, dry and served with frozen vegetables while the rest of the participants from our group who selected meals from the menu on location where served decent plates at a lower price. I would not recommend this option at all.
Hello Valued Guest, Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour itself, but we’re so sorry that the long pickup time and meal plan weren’t what you hoped for. That definitely isn’t the kind of experience we want our guests to have. Your feedback really helps us see where we can do better, and we’ll be taking a closer look at both the meal options and timing to make things smoother. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and we hope we’ll get the chance to give you a much better experience next time. Kind regards, The Westar Travel Team
Long day- lots of walking for older people. The tour was set up well, with lots of the sites that you would want to see. The scenery was beautiful. Our tour guide was very helpful with directions and also taking us two different sites.
Aaron was exceptional and we did several other locations. Amazing tour! We highly recommend this tour.
