Great tour with Lily! - Lily the tour guide was very friendly and her conversation made the 2 hour drive from Xiamen pass by very quickly. She shared a lot on the tour about the history of the Tulou buildings and the surrounding areas. Very attentive as well, took photos for me and made sure I had water as it was very hot. I got to try a grass jelly dessert in one of the buildings and lunch was at a restaurant by the river that served delicious Hakka food. As it was my first time in Xiamen, Lily also advised me on places to visit in the city. She's a wonderful guide if you are in the area. Thank you Lily for an unforgettable experience!
