Review for: Business Van Small Group Tour

The journey to lugu lake take 3.5 hours but the view are worthy. Lunch is good and included in this trip is a short 20 min boat rides. There are numerous stops at different side of lugu lake for us to take photo without any shopping stops. The guide also provide brief history of the area during our journey.

Review for: Business Van Small Group Tour

personally felt this trip was a very uncomfortable trip.. felt the driving skills need improvement. the road to Lugu lake is quite small and curvy with scenic view. The driver is inpatient and consistently braking hard when there is a car in front.. mayb he is really rushing to send us back. had bad motion sickness
