I thought KANG was an amazing host and driver too. We got everywhere we beat crowds, and he had so many informative things to say, especially about Buddhism, so much more than a guidebook. The tour was just delightful. Also, I think the small group in the van was a real plus, especially when we did the roller coaster bridge. What a view.!!!

We are so glad you got to experience that heart-racing, breathtaking view with the comfort and closeness of a small group. We are incredibly proud of KANG’s exceptional multi-tasking skills as both a safe driver and an amazing host. His brilliant pacing and timing to ensure you arrived everywhere ahead of the crowds is a true testament to his professional expertise.
