Jimmy is a wonderful guide and has a lot of knowledge and good english. The tour is very well organized and you can see all the main sites without feeling rushed. This tour is a must if you are in Zhengzhou and I would recommend it without hesitation. The service provided is very good, it has exceded my expectations. One of the best tours I have done. Jimmy knows everything about history and is a very good company, I could have not asked for a better tour guide.

It was a wonderful hike at Mount Song. The views of the mountain and from the mountain were just amazingly awesome. We spent 5h hiking in mountains, immersing in the sheer beauty of nature. The tour guide tailored the tour itinerary to my preference and accompanied me throughout the hike. I am sincerely grateful. Strongly recommended!!!
