Guide was awesome throughout, providing insights to China history. The best part was the performance at Shaolin Temple which we enjoyed a lot.

We had a wonderful experience visiting Shaolin Temple and Sanhuangzhai. Even though this was a Chinese speaking tour and we were the only Korean guests, our guide ‘Gao Jie’ was incredibly kind, beautiful and considerate throughout the trip.😊 Thanks to the guide’s care we were able to fully enjoy the experience. The Shaolin Kung Fu show was amazing, and short tracking at the Songshan, where legendary martial arts masters once trained, was unforgettable. A perfect tour filled with history, culture, and stunning scenery. Highly recommended! 👍

We were very pleased to go on this guided tour – allthough we don't speak Chinese the guide and some of the travellers helped us to understand the needed information. The people are very kind. The Shaolin temple and the Kunf Fu performance is a must!

We used the service on May 1st, which was a Chinese national holiday. It was extremely crowded, but everything went smoothly. The service was excellent, and the tour bus service was great. Lunch was also provided for 40 yuan.
