Review for: Premium Bus Tour

no extra fees needed throughout the tour. yay! so we started off early of the day to gather at temple of heaven entrance, it's easy to find and near the subway station. the tour guide (ms sun) reached out to us via WeChat to let us know the steps and prep all documents to buy tickets. since we're a small group, ms sun helped us get didi (Uber) to get to yonghe temple. we had lunch nearby and there's a lot of choices. we started tour after lunch with another tour guide ms Feng. both tour guides are clear and knowledgeable, we learnt a lot of histories and culture of both places. Tour is in mandarin.
