5.00Our tour, Jackie or Jackie Chan, was such a fun guide and gave a detailed brief to the group. Gave good suggestions and recommendations for the attraction and made it so lively on the bus too. He even sang a parting song for us too as we head towards our last attraction - 明天会跟好. Would love to book and go on a tour with Jackie again!
