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!

Longji's Enchanting Beauty: A Perfect Trip with Exceptional Service - The scenery of Longji itself is a charming painting, and the service of the travel agency has added a perfect touch to this trip. The prompt response from the customer service solved all my doubts, and the convenience of the private vehicle allowed us to adjust the itinerary flexibly. It was really great. Especially the tour guide, who was not only gentle and meticulous but also gave vivid and interesting explanations about the different areas of Guilin's environment, making our entire journey full of learning and surprises!!

Immersive cultural journey - The Yao dance performance was so cool! Their long hair and traditional customs were super unique. Our guide, Tom, was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The whole experience, from booking to the actual trip, was seamless—no hidden fees or surprises. Tom really took us off the beaten path, showing us some amazing natural spots. It was pure immersion, and I loved every minute of it!

Perfect experience of Longji Terraces - It was amazing to harvest rice in Longji! Our guide Lily spoke fluent English and shared Zhuang traditions with passion. The private car trip was smooth and the route allowed us to explore the terraces and villages at our own pace. The perfect blend of culture and nature was amazing!!

A stunning view of the Longji rice terraces - These three pictures are a wonderful blend of nature and culture. The first shows a joyful group on a hill, capturing a sense of adventure. The zebras in the grass are stunning, highlighting the beauty of wildlife. Lastly, the people in traditional clothing with umbrellas reflect vibrant cultural heritage and celebration. Together, they beautifully showcase community spirit and the richness of our world!

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!
