Review for: Join-In Tour

The tour guide Xiaolu was very considerate and caring. He took good care of us throughout the trip and helped us take photos. We were very lucky to have good weather, a strong autumn atmosphere and beautiful sights. This was one of the few trips that visited both Glenorchy and Arrowtown at the same time.

Thank you to our guide, Qing, for the thoughtful tour of Arrowtown and Glenorchy. Besides enthusiastically helping us take photos, she also made special stops at a few secret scenic spots along the way for us to admire and photograph. For lunch and dinner, she recommended delicious hidden gems from her personal list. It's been a week since we returned, and I still miss every moment of our time in New Zealand. So happy! 😁

Participated in a 1-day Chinese tour. The tour guide Xiaohai is very friendly and enthusiastic, and deserves praise. There are explanations along the way! Very knowledgeable and explained very clearly. They also took the initiative to take photos for us. The schedule is not too busy! You can also visit slowly, highly recommended

Gogo, our driver-guide, provided incredibly detailed explanations! You could truly feel her passion for photography and travel, and that she genuinely enjoys her work! It's rare to find a driver-guide who is both fun and loves to have fun! She has an eye for beauty and maintains a curious outlook on everything around her! Attaching some beautiful photos taken by Gogo herself (thank you for sharing 🫶)

Our guide, Xiao Hai, was very thoughtful! 👍 Due to weather conditions, we had to adjust our tour date, and Xiao Hai meticulously rearranged everything for us. The one-day tour schedule was flexible enough to accommodate customer needs. Plus, Xiao Hai introduced us to many beautiful, hidden gems! Highly recommend! 👍

Wasn't very disappointed, but since we could actually go to the places ourselves, it felt more like a car rental than a day trip. But the tour guide was very good, and they were very accommodating with transportation.

Consider it a small group, semi-private guided tour. It's much more flexible compared to large group tours. In addition to the marked attractions, there are many places along the way where you can briefly stop to take photos and check in, which is a great experience. Although the weather wasn't great, the scenery is actually much better than the attached photos, but I won't post them because there are people in them.

Review for: Join-In Tour

The fixed-point pick-up and drop-off service, along with the Mandarin-speaking guide throughout the trip, made us feel especially welcomed. Our guide, Xiaoching, asked about the places we wanted to visit and the things we were interested in seeing, and then created a detailed plan. As a result, she took us to several small attractions along the way, which left a lasting impression.
