Best cycling experience through mountains though it’s tough. Jeff took care of our team very well, he is familiar with the way to the WuLing, and knows where to stop for waiting and taking good photos for us. There are 2 long and dark tunnels after GuanYuan, he drove slowly behind to light our way and make sure there won’t be cars coming from the other direction. We really enjoyed the 4 days we spent together, and we feel really relaxed because he took good care of our bicycles too. He found the brake block contact areas has been badly reduced on one of our bicycles, and get a pair of new ones the next day to make sure we will have a safe ride. We enjoy the time with you Jeff, and hope to have another fun trip with Taiwa Vista Tour very soon~
