5.00One of the most beautiful visits we had in China! Yun Gang Caves and Xuangong Hanging Temple are fabulous places. Our experience with this agency was impeccable from start to finish: the organizer was precise, clear and very warm in her messages. The driver in Beijing was on time and with breakfast. The subsequent pick-up by Mr Zhang, a very good driver, and our guide George, was remarkable. The guide spoke good English, answered all our questions, with interest and good humor. The lunch, which we had asked for vegetarian, was fantastic too. We recommend 100% this tour, it is definitely worth it.
Amazing experience

5.00This tour was planned extremely well and everyone involved was punctual and professional. As soon as I booked, I received messages from Cathy who booked us the train tickets. She was very pleasant and helpful. On the day of the tour, we were picked up from the hotel, dropped off at the train and given breakfast, and then picked up from the train with an English speaking guide, Andy, and driver Mr. Li. Both were a pleasure to spend time with on the tour to see the grottos (YunGang caves) and the mountains (hanging temple). We were taken to lunch in between which was delicious and native to the region. I highly recommend booking this tour as it is all planned out for you and would be a little difficult to do on your own as a foreigner. Worth every penny! Thank you very much.
Don’t miss out on this tour!

5.00I highly recommend this tour! We had an amazing time. Our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions I asked. He also took great pictures! Our driver Mr. Li was always right on time and the car was very clean and comfortable. The places we went were beautiful and the booking was very easy! Andy was able to get us around quick and avoid some of the crowds when possible as well. The tour picked us up from the hotel, helped with the train, and provided a delicious local lunch, as well as a breakfast bag. Definitely book this tour, you won’t regret it!
