Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-23
Our tour guide, Xiao Chen, was lovely and wonderful! There were more places to eat than we expected, and fresh coconuts were available for purchase. The mountain road was a bit bumpy, but that was unavoidable given the environment. There was also a free farm where we could feed the animals, which were very cute. The staff on the boats to see the monkeys and fireflies were all very cheerful. It was a very worthwhile trip!★

The itinerary was exceptionally well-planned, making it easy and relaxing with the kids. A special thank you to our guides, Jay and Steve, for their attentive service. The children had a wonderful time, seeing the beaked monkeys and witnessing a stunning sunset – perfect!★

Reviews: 1-Day Tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island [Snorkeling/Water Tours + Seafood BBQ Lunch]
Guest User2026-03-25
Punctual pick-up and drop-off, small tour group, easy-to-manage guide. Sapi Island has clear water, white sand, and plenty of fish, a great place for snorkeling. Manukan Island also has clear water, but not many fish. Guide Zhihong is good. Worth the trip.★

Reviews: [All-inclusive] Tiger Leaping Gorge + Haba Snow Mountain + Baishuitai Day Trip | Departure point optional
Guest User2026-03-19
Our driver, Ah Zhi, was very humorous and explained everything clearly, including the precautions for each place. The restaurant he recommended for lunch was also excellent. The sights along the way were all beautiful. When we arrived in Shangri-La, he even planned a route based on our hotel bookings and dropped us all off at our hotels – a truly wonderful experience. Baishuitai is definitely worth a visit.★

Reviews: Tiger Leaping Gorge + Haba Snow Mountain Viewing Platform + White Water Terraces 1-Day Tour [Small Group of Up to 8 People + Optional Admission Ticket Included]
Guest User2026-03-09
First of all, the customer service was excellent, helping me resolve car issues before departure. Secondly, the driver was very nice and patient; when a minor accident occurred during the trip, he patiently helped resolve it. The customer service representative was also very helpful in communicating and resolving the issue. Overall, it was a very pleasant group tour experience, with no shopping stops and no mandatory meal arrangements. I highly recommend this travel agency for a Tiger Leaping Gorge day trip.★

Reviews: Shangri-La + Tiger Leaping Gorge 1-Day Tour (Pure Fun/Return via Highway/Tusi Banquet/Prayer Flags on the Grassland)
Guest User2026-03-20
I was so lucky to meet our driver, Dorje, on this trip to Shangri-La! His driving was smooth and safe throughout, the route was perfectly planned, and he patiently explained the sights and local stories along the way. He took us horseback riding at Napa Lake, to the prayer wheels at Dukezong Ancient Town, and to Tiger Leaping Gorge to see the magnificent river. The timing was perfect. He even proactively helped us with our luggage and found good photo spots. He's incredibly kind and reliable, and I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Northwest Yunnan!
