Great tour of Dazu with David - David, out tour guide was fantastic. He booked a car for us, gave us a fantastic tour and took us into town away from the tourists for a lovely local lunch. All in all a fun and informative day. Back at the hotel David helped us plan the next day and helped me work with the hotel to get my internet working! I highly recommend the tour and David.
