Review for: Private Tour including Round Trip Hotel Transfer

Our guide tour named Alice can speak English fluently and explain lots of history behind the two temples we visited very clearly. The duration of the tour is quite (half-day); however; visiting these places with adequate information helped us to indulge ourselves in the cultures of Tibetan Buddhism and Confucion.
