    The agency did a wonderful job. The guide was amazing with very good English and even Spanish. The trip is a bit long but it is ok and very worth it. They treated us very good!

    Guide was thorough in explaining the history of Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple. Driver was adept at making adjustments based on road closures. The actual destinations were a bit too commercialised (Shaolin) and crowded (Longmen) for the experience to actually be enjoyable. Would also recommend for the tour to be extended to two days and include a trip up Songshan - seems a bit of a shame to travel all the way to Luoyang and not see that amazing view

    Visiting the grottoes was good but the Shaolin was a bit let down. Too commercial, felt like disneyland. The tour guide was good as she introduced us to a local restaurant for lunch.
