Fantastic guide and driver and amazing trip - We had Jeffrey as our tour guide and Yang as our driver. We had a wonderful time and Jeffrey was very accomodating and had great knowledge that he shared with us. They took us to some wonderful spots and were patient when we wanted to look at things. The car was very clean and comfortable for the long drive with great aircon, Yang also provided us with cold water every time we returned back to the car. Overall we had an amazing time and highly recommend the tour! The actual sights were amazing as well the boat ride and the cave were the highlights.

A great day trip with greater views. - This was a fantastic tour. I went wanting to get away from the busy city and this didn't disappoint. It was a nice car trip out with our driver Yang. The boat trip itself was great and the host Jeffrey was amazing. He kept me hydrated and I was offered an umbrella as it was threatening to rain. The weather stayed perfectly overcast and cool for the middle of summer. Lunch was great too and they kept the dishes very mild for me. I want to visit this place again for the winter.

A very unique experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Linda Li & our driver Mr Yang. Linda Li has great knowledge and speaks excellent English. The day was packed with activity but very relaxing. We experienced the dramatic beauty of the Longqingxia Gorge and the ancient history of the Guyana caves along with an exquisite lunch. Would highly recommend this trip with Lily’s Beijing Tour Guide.

Secret Recommendation - Very friendly tour guide. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about chinese history. If you want to see something that is not so much overrun, you should consider trying this. The view and the landscape is gorgeous!

Fantastic tour to Longqingxia Gorge and Guyana Caves - Fantastic tour away from the busy Beijing traffic. Our English speaking guide Jeffery (Mr Lou) and driver Mr Sun were excellent. We were very happy with the boat trip in Longqingxia gorge. The Krast mountains scenery is absolutely awesome. The relics of Guyana caves were also very interesting. Jeffery was very polite and answered all our questions. The food provided was good at a nice restaurant. The drive was very comfortable and smooth, as each way was roughly two hours. The car was clean and spacious and even had phone charging outlets. I would highly recommend this tour and should be on the must do list in Beijing.

A one day nature trip not to be missed! - This is an excellent one-day trip to spend some time in the scenic landscapes outside Beijing. The schedule is well organized so each stop can be appreciated without rush and Jeffrey is an amazing tour guide! Very informative conversations and very willing to even adjust the schedule upon our request. Very comfortable and highly recommended experience!

Never again - I will never use your service again. Tour operator wanted to charge extra for a pickup closer to destination than city center. Your cancellation method was a nightmare. Never again.
