Reviews
the mountain locations were beautiful, it was an amazing experience to see the rainbow mountains and also the stone village. I wish there had of been longer time to explore the rainbow mountains since we only got about an hour there but nethertheless it was so beautiful! our driver was friendly and took us to get breakfast in the morning.
driver was very helpful even with agency group chat support from their team members, a trip with no guide and joined-in Chinese speaking group was also a good experience with new friends. Great site visiting and another good experience.
We had a perfect day with a super friendly and competent driver and tour guide (Master Wang).
