5.005 star rating All the staff that I came into contact with for this booking were amazing. Each one of them 5 stars. Sun was our Beijing driver and was extremely helpful. He was on time for picking us from the hotel and collecting us at the train station. Sun brought our group into the train station and got our tickets for us and helped navigate our way to the waiting room. He is excellent. Very clean car. Gavin our tour guide and driver to the shaolin temple was also on time picking us up and dropping us off. He was very knowledgeable and had loads of interesting information and history knowledge to share with our group, excellent English.We had a great time. We were early for our train and Gavin offered to take us to the city for dinner if we wanted to go, he also helped us with our train tickets. Very clean car. Bloem was very engaging and more than helpful at all stages of the booking. She was always contactable and made everything very easy for us. We were so happy with the service that we organised the driver from Beijing to take us to the train station the following day as we were travelling to Shanghai and also booked additional tours via the service for Shanghai. Bloom organised all this for us with ease. I would highly recommend this tour as all the people we engaged with were amazing, 5 stars to everyone.
Perfect Shaolin Experience

5.00What an incredible day. The tour company planned everything perfectly from hotel collection until my return travelling by super fast bullet train to the Shaolin Temple. I had plenty of time (4.5hrs) to explore the temple, the pagoda Forrest and mountain to get a real feel for the place. This include time with the guide and space to wander alone with my thoughts. Highly recommend this tour.
