5.00We really enjoyed this tour thanks to our guide, Ms. Wan. She called herself “Ms. One” as it is easy to remember for foreign visitors. We left our hotel around 8:00AM and returned here around 6:00 PM. On the way, we enjoyed scenic views as well. It was not necessary for us to rush and we could spend enough time for each land mark. One advice. Please bring your breakfast.
Highly recommended
