Our tour guide Cathy, was excellent - friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable and helped us all day. We thoroughly enjoyed the local lunch and making dumplings. She told us about a show - she organized the tickets too. The driver was always on time. She also gave us a gift of a bowl set. So sweet of her.
