Jacklyn is very talented and good at her job. She introduced many acknowledged information, and very important tips that local people know. She makes the long driving not bored at all, since she told many history stories and she has super good driving skills in the storms! The lunch is delicious and the whole trip is a fun experience. We highly recommend Jacklyn and Wasabi company as your tour guide!
