Fantastic and tailor-made experience.
![]() Beyond that, our tour guide Chase put in every extra effort in order to accommodate us with any problems or questions we had. I had issues setting up Alipay and he spent probably over an hour of his personal time speaking with customer service to work it out for me. He was also very flexible with last minute trip variations, and gave us a decent array of options for activities to choose from. Overall a fantastic experience, thank you Chase! more
