Even though the tour was a bit rush, the guide Eikzy very professional and friendly. Very accommodating with our request. The driver is very patience and drive carefully all the way.

The tour guide was very professional in their introduction, reminders, and care. They proactively suggested photo angles and directly took photos (even providing guidance on recording slow-motion videos), allowing us to capture many beautiful pictures 🤓. They also specially introduced the super delicious coconut mango ice cream at the Blue Temple 😋 (and even I, who doesn't like coconut or mango products, was full of praise for it)!

Peter was a fabulous guide, very friendly and informative. Group of 9 was a good size and had plenty of time at each of the sites. Despite its recent construction, White Temple is fascinating and knowing its origins from Peter beforehand made it all the more interesting. The whole excursion, whilst a long day, surpassed our expectations

Although the drive was long, the timing was well-arranged and controlled. Tickets were prepared in advance, giving us more time to visit. However, the brochure mentioned the Red Temple, but we actually went to the Giant Guanyin Temple (which was also great).

Five-star hotel, but unfortunately, we arrived too late to fully enjoy the water slide and lazy river facilities! The breakfast was delicious! It's a shame the room didn't have a bathtub, and it would be better if the hair dryer wasn't attached to the wall!

Excellent tour! We saw most of the city's main sights. The timing was very well thought out, with enough time for everything without feeling rushed. Lunch and all tickets were included. The transfer was also very comfortable. Special thanks to the guide; it was very interesting to listen to him. A mix of informative facts and funny jokes! The atmosphere is 10/10. I highly recommend it!
