Soffro di mal d'auto ma mi è capitato il migliore autista che potesse capitarmi! Consiglio a tutti Blues Lee, una persona competente, gentilissima e disponibile che ha saputo rendere i miei due giorni a Guilin e dintorni perfetti, dandomi consigli e informazioni importanti sui luoghi che ho visitato. Non è un semplice autista, è molto di più! Lo consiglio a tutti”
