The guide Cherry was very knowledgeable and gave all the information about the various tour sites. I only wish the information was communicated prior that when they advertise "Private", it is quite literally for the person who booked it - as in single adult in the car with a personal driver, personal guide and a car at your disposal. I booked it thinking it would be a small private group of 6-8 adults - but oh well.
Our guide and driver were excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and she was able to tell us many interesting facts about the sites. The Luoyang Grottos was well worth the walk. My only caveat is that you need to be able to walk for a couple of kilometres and climb quite a few stairs. The White Horse Monastey is beautiful. There is a lot of interesting buildings to see and the landscaping is beautiful. The lunch we were served was very tasty and filling. Altogether a good day.
