Wonderful experience, highly recommended! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the private tour! Prior to it, our research showed that the rice terraces are quite hard to get to. The tour provided utmost convenience and comfort, and Charles even accommodated our special request to see the sunset at the rice terraces by starting at 12pm. Charles, a local of Guilin himself, was very friendly and kind, informative and knowledgeable. Needless to say, the rice terraces were very beautiful. We would highly recommend the tour!

Excellent tour guides, tours tailored to your needs - We did two private tours over two days. Both tour guides were excellent. They were punctual, polite, and very helpful. They shared a lot of information as and when necessary, and accommodated our needs and schedule. The pricing was much better than the others I found, so overall, I would very highly recommend these tours.

A great day out! - This was a really good day trip! Our driver / guide was the perfect host - a comfortable drive to the terrace, some interesting information, and a great walk around the area. He clearly knew the area well - which routes were free from other tourists, and also the must see highlights. A reasonable price as well and well organised. Many thanks!

Overall a good experience. - Overall, we enjoyed the tour, but we ran into a few issues: 1. Car condition: The vehicle was in poor shape and felt extremely bumpy. We all felt quite nauseous by the end of the ride. 2. Show: The performance was very disappointing—I’ve never seen such a lackluster show. It felt like a waste of both time and money. 3. Meal arrangements: We were taken to a restaurant in the first village, but later noticed several much nicer eateries with amazing views at the second stop. On the positive side, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a wealth of interesting information about Guilin! And I enjoyed the scenery so I gave them four stars!
