Interesting and fruitful green tour - Mo is amazing as our tour guide, fun and experienced. He is professional and genuine and we had a great day with him. The 4 major spots were interesting. Tourists can feel free to choose if they want to purchase in the jewellery and souvenior shops. The lunch is a bit late at around 230pm, but could be settled with a full breakfast. Worth joining!

Good experience - The itinerary is very rich, the tour guide is very professional, not only knows the scenic spots very well, but also shares many historical stories with us! The whole day is just right, allowing everyone to have time to walk around each attraction! We had lunch at a restaurant by the river. It was a pity that we sat on the bank instead of on the river. In addition, he will take us to some shopping places, but he will not force us to spend money.
