“Fantastic experience with Jo as a guide. He was very cary and generous towards us and the rest of the group, making sure we had everything we needed and beyond! We are extremely grateful for the evening spent together! We had amazing food and beers (plus other chinese liquors and softs too!) in typical restaurants and bars for locals, away from the main touristy places and tucked in some beautiful houtong alleys and also in a traditional house. Jo could create a friendly and welcoming environment from the very first moment and he also explained us many interesting cultural and historical facts about food and the places we visited. Thank…”
