The service was very good, and we set off on time. It was a small route, so there weren't many tourists. The weather was very good at the foot of the mountain, but it was a pity that it was all foggy on the way up, so we couldn't see the whole view of Lake Biwa. It was a pity★

I ended up booking it after seeing it, and the guide Yuki was so kind and explained everything well. It was great! If you come for 2 nights and 3 days, it would be great to do a one-day package! Thank you to the kind guide Yuki❤️⛩️🇯🇵★

Forgot to evaluate! The tour guide Dai guide Frederick is very good, Chinese, Japanese, English and three languages are proficient, all the way to lively atmosphere and explain historical stories. All tourists are very warm and friendly. At the end of the trip, he asked him what was delicious and fun and he was very enthusiastic to tell us. I recommend everyone to set the itinerary if you want the Nara Kyoto Busan line!★

Because I live in Nihonbashi, the weather is relatively hot, and the traffic to Kyoto will have some toss if you don't charter a car, so I reported to the local small group. Mr. Dai Yuefeng's tour guide service is simply too thoughtful! It is really satisfying. The arrangement of the itinerary to the day of the tour from the day before is very reasonable and accurate. You don't need to worry about it yourself! very good★

The trip to Lushan + Sanqianyuan booked this time was great. Traveling with a baby, there was almost 37 degrees of high temperature that day, and at least 3-4 degrees was lower in the Sanqianyuan. The three thousand yards were full of green eyes, and many people were posing there. There are many more people in Lushan than 3,000 courtyards. It is recommended to have lunch here. Many restaurants only accept cash. Remember to bring cash. Children with children are best to book the tickets for Lushan trains in advance. The customer service of the root travel agency asks what time it is more convenient to book. The small train travel time is 1 hour. We also saw someone drifting from the small train, but there is no time. Come next time. The tour guide Liu Ling wants to say in particular, the car is very enthusiastic to explain to everyone, before the train time, he also took everyone to the station, the small train came back and presented the children Lushan small refrigerator stickers.
