Having a proper guide to organize everything and explain all the cultural details along the way made all the difference though. Burton picked us up from the hotel on time, drove safely, was perfectly organised and flexible to adapt to our preferences at short notice. He provided a lot of historical background details as well as interesting information on modern life in China without being overwhelming. Thanks a lot for a great day.
