Dear Leo,
thank you so much for asking.
I can only say that we had a fabulous time. The driver was the best driver we had in a long time and the guide was knowledgeable, helpful and always spot on.
In a difficult situation (the police found us interesting and inquired after our travel itinerary etc.) he handled it very well.
I will definitely recommend you and might ask you for information on another tour in Sichuan, soon.
Kind regards,
Silke
