Our tour guide Stoney and the driver were great. However, a note about this tour… it would have better to skip the ancient towns. These Aiden’s towns were REALLY ancient. It’s not the “rebuilt” commercialized ancient towns in some other parts of China. Baomo Garden was beautiful and definitely worth going. The lunch location was also great. The Pearl River cruise but definitely better to book this at night vs during the day. Suggestion for the tour operator… maybe remove the ancient towns from this tour :).
Thank you for your review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour wth our guide, the driver, Baomo Garden, and the lunch. We appreciate your honest feedback on Shawan Ancient Town. It is an authentic cultural site, though we understand its less-commercialized nature isn't for everyone. Your suggestion is noted as we continually refine our itineraries. Just to clarify for future travelers: the Pearl River cruise on this tour is a daytime experience, as advertised. We do offer a separate and spectacular Night Cruise Tour for those wishing to see the city lights. Thank you again for touring with us!
