The experience was very good. Though there was a lot of miscommunication from Tours4fun and the tour company, my tour guide Yong Li was really cooperative and helped me to solve all the issues. She helped me sort out the activity fees and charged whatever I was supposed to. Also, her knowledge about the area is commendable. Her coordination, patience and friendliness made everyone in the tour enjoy it more.
