Great service and very smooth experience overall. Lunch is absolutely delicious. Our guide was truly an expert about Dazu and knows everything about it. She explained everything in a fun and engaging way. Overall Dazu carvings are impressive and well worth the visit. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour to others!
thank you for your review and wish you all the best!!!!
The carvings were amazing and well worth a visit. We have a fantastic English speaking guide and she was able to help us understand the history and importance of the carvings. Would highly recommend this tour. We gave the tour 4 stars because of the transport out. There were three of us in the tour and we were cramped in the backseat of the car. It would have been great to have been in a bigger car or for us to be smaller :) The tour was amazing, the transport was not to the same level as our previous transport with this company.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for recommending our tour! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the carvings and the insights from your guide. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the transport. We understand how important comfort is, and we apologize for the cramped space during your trip. Your comments are very valuable and we are already looking into ways to improve the vehicle arrangements to ensure a more comfortable experience for all our guests.
