  • Its value for money tour. The tour guide is very kind and if you dont understand they explain again. Usually its in 2 languages English and Chinese.Mostly people don't like to go with any tour because they think they will not get sufficient time to see the place but this is not true with TakeTours.

  • We were very fortunate to have Chloe as a tour guide! She did a great job, very patient, always smiling, very informative about the places we were visiting, friendly, and professional. I did enjoy the places we had visited and my son, for the first time, he enjoyed the trip! Unfortunately we were unable to see the Cherry Blossoms because it passed. Maybe next year.
