My friend and I took this tour a week ago, and we still cant stop ourselves from seeing the pictures we took again and again. It was a terrific tour with loads of learning, and TONS of sightseeing. Not for a moment we felt bored or tired. I would recommend this tour to anyone who either wants to go with a friend, or with family. Must take tour!
Jen lei
Good tour, loads of learning, but I think we should’ve spent more time at one place rather than visiting a lot of places in less time. Other than that, everything was up to the mark, transport was comfortable, guide was friendly, and more importantly, it was well managed. We didn’t face any hiccups of any sort.
