1.00I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the terrible experience I had on the tour booked through Viator. The whole thing was a complete disaster from start to finish. The supposed guide was also the driver, and he barely spoke English, provided almost no useful information, and the schedule was a total mess. The driver/guide only wanted to rush everything, making decisions without informing us, badly managing the timing. He even asked me to be ready earlier than the time agreed in the app. The worst part is that he didn’t even accompany me during the visit. Instead, he stayed in the car waiting about 2 km away from the entrance because he was too lazy to park closer and wait through some traffic. Worst of all, as a driver, he was awful — driving dangerously, ignoring traffic rules, and making everyone feel unsafe at all times. This was not only unprofessional but outright reckless. I am deeply unhappy with both the local company organizing this nightmare and Viator for allowing such poor services to be offered on your platform. This experience has ruined my trip, and while I may consider not booking through Viator again, I expect some explanation or response, as it is unacceptable to be charged that amount for such a terrible tour. You need to seriously reconsider who you partner with, or you risk losing more customers.
What an adventure, I will be back!

5.00The booking was simple. Communication with the operator was efficient and seamless through out the process, and execution of the activites was spot on. Moreover, Shane my tour guide and would easily see as a friend if I had more time in China was amazing. He guided my on two separate visits to china during my two week vacation throughout South East Asia. Knowledgeable, funny, and really enthusiastic to share all the wonders of his country. It made my solo traveling feel as if I had plan a visit to come see an old friend in China!!! Great time!! I reccomend this group to help schedule an amazing adventure in 🇨🇳!!!
Wow
