Allen is really funny. Our trip was fun with him!
The guide was clear in the timings and hence it was less stressful compared to other tours we signed up with Klook. There was also decent time for each location and pace was ok for an elderly and toddler group like ours.
Tour was well organised and we enjoyed the activities planned. Our guide Jay was super helpful and informative and took care of us really well
Our Guide Mr Liu（ 柳华）was informative and attentive and gave us sufficient time at every location.
