  • The Itineraries are on time, and our guide (Li Di) is very communicative, organized, and on point of the itinerary. The driver also fasts and smooth drive though in some parts the road is slippery due to rain, he managed to get us on time and safely. The only unpleasant thing is the bus very dirty and smell, seat, window, and seats are dirty, I suggest bus company should make an effort to clean the bus,
