We did this tour and it was a wonderful time. Lisa was great! She was very informative and patient. The Lama Temple was a truly wonderful place, and the Confucius Temple was really serene. I would thoroughly recommend visiting the temples.

Lisa was a great, knowledgeable tour guide! I appreciated her willingness to share her personal experiences and those of her family. She was patient, answered all our questions, and encouraged us to stop to take many photos. I loved that she was even enjoying the tour and taking photos, too! We had a half day tour of the Lama and Confucius temples. The sites themselves were impressive and I would definitely recommend visiting them. The music show at the Confucius temple was a particular highlight!
