The hotel pick-up location will have a shuttle bus to pick you up, so remember to be on time. However, their shuttle bus might be delayed. If you're worried, you can call directly to ask or ask the hotel front desk to call for you; someone will always answer the phone. Treasure Island is the most convenient place to board, as it's the gathering point for all shuttle services. Regardless of whether you choose Chinese or English, your tour guide will be English-speaking, so be prepared to practice your English listening skills. The basic itinerary will have A4 papers in both Chinese and English, but for the stories during the tour, you'll have to rely on yourself. Most importantly, you must be very punctual for the times given by the guide. Our guide, Marvin, explained things very seriously and diligently, and generally, everyone was well-behaved and punctual. For Horseshoe Bend, you need to set a stopwatch because the time zones of the two locations can be easily confused. The tour bus isn't particularly large, but if there are empty seats, you can generally occupy two seats per person. You can get food and drinks at the rest stops along the way. Both locations on the itinerary require a long walk, so you'll need sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, and a mindset that isn't afraid of heat or fatigue. Overall, it was a lot of fun and a great road trip.
