Our guide, Cherry, from Kstorytour, was helpful and kind. She speaks English and Chinese very well (to the point that I thought she might be Chinese or from TW/HK). We appreciated her advice and recommendations on how to make the most out of each stop. I also appreciated how smoothly she and the company arranged tickets/admission/ferry, and the driver's smooth operation of the bus helped us feel safe. I would definitely recommend this tour again. Thank you, Cherry!
