5.00We loved this tour!! Stefan was incredibly knowledgeable and could answer any question thrown at him. The transportation was a small air conditioned bus which was very comfortable. Every location was so interesting especially the paper houses and the bakery. Stefan even took the time to show us where to experience a tea ceremony after the tour which was also fantastic. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Must do!

5.00This was a really great tour to see various parts of the area. The paper house experience was the best. We also went through Chinatown so that helped us navigate later! Highly recommend for something different. It was a combo of walking and a ride in a van.
Amazing tour guide
