For us, what stayed with me wasn't the booking or the car. It was the time at Qufu San Kong Day : Confucius Temple, Mansion, Cemetery, when we could slow down and actually look around.

Practically speaking, communication beforehand was straightforward. On the day, the plan was explained once and then everything simply felt easy to follow. I would rather keep the pause at Qufu San Kong Day : Confucius Temple, Mansion, Cemetery than add another stop.

I underestimated how much standing the day involved. A short sit-down between stops made the second half much easier. For 7 hours around Qufu, the pace felt about right.

Honestly, I would book this again for the pacing, not because every stop was spectacular. The ordinary transitions made Qufu feel like a place rather than a set of postcards.
