Excellent Tour and Tour guide Andy - I had a great evening tour with Andy taking a road trip from Guilin city to Xingping fishing village. Andy was punctual, personable, and knowledgeable. He explained about the local culture and customs and we had enjoyable conversation on various topics as well. His planning was impeccable and thoughtful in that the fisherman he arranged for the evening was in a convenient and clear location away from the crowd and in clear view of the background mountains and sunset. He even looked up and gave me directions to a delicious Xinjiang restaurant in Guilin for supper after the trip. I highly recommend Andy and the fisherman tour.

Amazing experience with a great and experienced tourguide! - Andy (the tour guide) was very accommodating and friendly. We spent two days with him and he was very flexible in terms of scheduling and itinerary. It rained the first day when we were supposed to climb Xianggong Mountain for a sunrise hike so he took us to Cuiping Hill to see the sunset instead. He didn't rush us, and is a very easygoing person. He's also a really good driver so you can rest assured. We highly recommend him for your Guilin and Zhangjiajie tours!

Great service from a great guide Andy Xingping sunset fisherman photography - Andy was our guide for the evening he collected us promptly at hotel in yangshou at 5pm as arranged drove us to Xingping and quickly arranged a fisherman with boat and commerants to pose for sunset photos in the river. He the drove us back to our hotel in Guilin. He is a first class guide with very good english. During our 4 hours with him he gave us the best insight to life in china that we received in our 6 week visit. His care for his customers is exemplary and he allowed us all the time we needed to take our photos. We had a very enjoyable and successful evening which would not be possible without Andy unless you are fluent in Chinese and hold a Chinese driving licence. Full marks to Andy for the way he runs his business. 5 star's

Amazing fishermen experience thanks to Andy - This was an amazing experience. Getting to see the fishermen up close and being the only ones with him made it a memory we will never forget. The fishermen was so friendly and excited to show us. Andy the guide, was beyond fantastic. He took us to see the fishermen and the 20 yuan mountain. His English is great so you can ask questions. It was raining when we went and Andy made sure we had umbrellas and took great care of us. I would highly recommend doing his tour

Understand local lifestyle - We did the Longji Rice Terrace and sunset with fisherman combo tour. Our guide Jacky was knowledgeable, helpful, and had good and timely communication. We especially enjoyed the sunset photography with fisherman tour by Li River. The Longji Rice Terrace area was a bit over commercialized and less enjoyable. Overall good trip and tour guide. Would recommend this company.

Fantastic day with Andy - My partner and I enjoyed an incredible day with Andy. He created a day tour based on the main things we wanted to see plus more. It was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip to China. I absolutely loved the old town visit and hearing about the history and culture of the area. He’s a fantastic guide and has a great sense of humour. Thank you Andy!
