Garry, our guide is very knowleable and experienced. He explained the history and towns and alert us on the perfect photos opportunities on the bus and attractions.

“Viator booked us on a Chinese tour unbeknownst to us where we got no narration in English even though there were 8 English speaking travelers. When I asked I was told because 85% were Chinese. It was discouraging listening for 40 minutes of laughing and clapping. We sometimes got one sentence in English. We were pressured to buy the meal plan which I'm so glad we didn't. They stopped at Chinese restaurants for lunch and dinner every day. I tried to explain I have celiac but we were told we need to get fast food when we stopped if we didn't get the meal plan. There were very few options…”

Each day we were greeted warmly with a head nod, thumbs up or a hello by our fellow travelers. They were always happy and insisting about taking our picture at scenic sites and making sure we felt included. Emily was very helpful with helping us feel like a part of the group.
