Ha capito cosa per noi era essenziale vedere e che tipo di esperienza cercavamo. Il tour serale è stato altrettanto straordinario. Nessun luogo scontato o affollato, nessuna corsa alla “foto iconica”. Al contrario, una sequenza di panorami costruita con grande intelligenza, quasi come uno zoom progressivo sulla città: luci, profondità, contrasti che si rivelavano uno dopo l’altro, perm...”

We loved the Three Bridges scenic area. Fairy mountain was also beautiful. The lunch stop had a surprise. There was a large underground cave hidden in the back of the restaurant which went fairly deep into the karst mountain which was all lit up and well maintained with stalactites and stalagmites and other unique formations to see. The trip overall was a great experience and we would recommend Eric as a great guide.”
