A lot of walking, but worth the effort and Yunfei was the perfect guide. We could choose exactly what we wanted to see and we were taken to areas that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Good entry to the colleges without it becoming all about the colleges, would highly recommend. (Reviewed March 2025)
