5.00Our family of 4 had a fantastic day with Leshan. He is kind, flexible and accommodating. Very helpful with kids/teens. Vehicle was very roomy and comfortable. He planned the day very well so that we hit all the main sights at the perfect time for views, sunsets, and avoiding crowds. This way we were able to obtain photographs to our liking. Good understanding of history and Japanese folklore too. Leshan recommended a great place for luncheon was very flexible with the timing during the day. What highly recommend! Thanks Leshan for a wonderful day!
