Pickup was on time and the service was great. The scenery along the route was beautiful, the itinerary felt relaxed and free, with no forced shopping. Overall a very good experience. — group traveler
From booking onward there was a dedicated person coordinating and briefing us on trip notes in advance. Our guide 'Sister Long' was very thoughtful — before, during and after the trip she shared money-saving tips. We will recommend Junwei to friends and family next time. — family traveler
First time in Zhengzhou, everything unfamiliar, but the experience was excellent. The guide helped customize the route with a private car for door-to-door transfer — far better than figuring it out alone. — out-of-town traveler
Overall it was great, good value for money, highly recommended! — multi-day traveler
