5.00Had a wonderful day with Sabrina! We visited some great and interesting sites.At all times she gave us a real idea of the cultural importance of these places. We loved the incense factory, the Conical hats…which we were allowed to design were a bonus. The Lacquer painting was great fun and the skill required is amazing! Another plus is the trip itself. the very safe driving and the wonderful commentary by Sabrina.
