Great tour - we were lucky to have a flexible guide who could tailor the experience to what we like. Key for us was the visit of the local authentic market of Dongmen - only locals go and no sight of tourists!
We’re so glad you enjoyed such a personalized experience and discovering authentic local spots like Dongmen Market! It’s wonderful to hear the hidden local atmosphere made the day so memorable — thank you for sharing this.
