5.00We had a great time on our private tour during our flight connection in Xiamen. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport. We got to see the many highlights the city has to offer. Most of the tour is by foot, so be ready to do a lot of walking. We walked close to 30K steps that day. I recommend you let the tour guy in advance of any special requests or places you’d like to see. The cost is a bit pricey for Asian standards but worth it given the limited amount of time we had and the options available. I would recommend this to friends whenever they have a long flight connection in Xiamen.
