The driver responded quickly and provided excellent service. They also provided a child seat as requested. I highly recommend using this pick-up and drop-off service!
The original itinerary was for July 30th, but the tour didn't make it to the scheduled departure date. KKDay informed me that I could change to a later, already booked tour. The communication was clear, timely, and excellent. The three-day itinerary was well-planned, especially the hotel on the first day, which was better than expected! The second day's itinerary required some physical exertion, like commuting uphill; those who enjoy transportation would likely appreciate it. The third day's visit to the Gassho-zukuri village was the grand finale, so I recommend conserving your energy for exploring. Our guide, Manman, was very helpful, providing many local details and recommending things to buy, enriching the trip. I especially loved the yogurt available at Kappa Bridge—it was delicious!
It was a fantastic itinerary, allowing us to easily visit two beautiful places by tour bus, saving us a lot of time. Since each type of transportation has its own specific departure times, and there were people to arrange and manage everything for us using all six types of transport, it saved us a lot of planning time, queuing, and waiting time – excellent! Our tour guide, Liu Mei, was also very attentive and considerate, providing dedicated service throughout the two-day trip. She took care of each of us wholeheartedly, even taking photos for every member of the group, and ensuring there was ample time at each attraction.
