The main attractions along the tour were amazing, but it was the small stops along the way - where we went in and tried fruit and noodles, where we crossed swinging bridges and watched blacksmiths at work, these were what made us feel that we had got way more than just our money’s worth.”

He brought us into so many conversations at the market and in the countryside as a translator. All of the named stops on the tour are fantastic experiences, but we enjoyed rambling through the backroads with Kim just as much. Definitely don’t miss booking this tour!!”
