Review for: 8-person group guide + scenic spot tour guide dual service

The driver messed up the time early in the morning. The tour guide at Yunshuiyao was a high school graduate working a part-time job, couldn't provide explanations, and couldn't even arrange for guests to use the restroom properly! In addition, we were taken to a Tulou that required an entrance fee! The tour guide at Chengqi Building was decent, but both guides put a lot of pressure on guests to buy tea under the guise of tea tasting.

Review for: 8-person group guide + scenic spot tour guide dual service

It was an 8-person tour. I was the only Japanese person, but the Chinese participants were very kind to me. It was a fun day. Having lunch with all the participants was also a great memory. When we returned to Xiamen, the driver suddenly told me that he couldn't take me to the designated hotel. I was dropped off in the city and told to take a taxi to the hotel, which was a problem. In the end, I hailed a taxi from somewhere unknown in Xiamen and returned to the hotel.

Because the Tulou is located in the mountainous area, the locals mainly produce tea, and every household sells tea. The locals are warm and hospitable. Whether you are traveling with a group or traveling independently, the guide of the scenic spot will warmly invite everyone to his home to taste tea or promote tea culture after the explanation. Considering that you will be tired after visiting the scenic spot, take a break and drink a cup of tea to relieve fatigue, share the photos of the beautiful scenery you have seen along the way with your group members, and you can also move freely around if you are not interested. The guide will still serve you enthusiastically.
In order to allow passengers to return to the hotel earlier, the tour guide will judge whether to call a taxi for the passengers to return to the hotel based on the road traffic conditions at that time.
