High quality, personal tour - 5 stars! - We had a great time on this tour! Our tour guide Andy showed us around the whole park and took us to some unique viewing areas that we had to hike to, because we liked hiking. He also recommended going to the park early, and we were so glad to take his advice and beat the lines! His English was great and we enjoyed talking with him all day. He was also so helpful and showed us a great restaurant for dinner later. Highly recommend this tour and Andy!! He really took time to adjust the tour based on how we felt and what we wanted to do.

Like a fairyland, nice trip with excellent service. - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is picturesque, like a fairyland. Although the one-day tour was short, it showcased the breathtaking peaks, pristine forests, and charming streams. The cable car ride was thrilling, and walking along the trails was refreshing. The tour guide was professional and enthusiastic, providing detailed explanations and excellent service, which greatly enhanced the trip. It was unforgettable, and I look forward to visiting again to explore this natural treasure in depth.

My wonderful tour guide Jayson personalized my private tour to include everything I loved, not to forget a tea tasting. I could not have asked for more during this beautiful natural experience. Do yourself a favor and book this unforgettable tour. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience that surpassed all of my expectations - My fiancé and I booked this 2 day tour while in Zhangejiajie and it was absolutely breathtaking. The national forest was vast and beautiful and the white water rafting was the most fun I had during my stay in China. The only thing better than this tour was our guide Nora. She had so much knowledge about the history and culture in Zhangejiajie. She accommodated our pace climbing up the mountain steps and ensured we sat on the best side of the shuttle buses to see the most amazing views. She was so personable and just a joy to be around. She even helped us get our luggage to a new hotel when the first one did not work for us. She called my hotel at my next location in Xi'an to ensure the airport shuttle would be available to us since I could not speak Mandarin. And offered to help us order food! Our visit to the national park was the day before a festival and so it was packed more so than usual but she got us through the crowds and even wore bright colors so we would not lose sight of her. She explained the different traditional clothing of the diversities that called the mountains their homes and have fascinating information about those groups. We learned so much. Her knowledge of the iconic individuals that helped shape the history only showed how much she loves Zhangejiajie. We not only saw the canyon and mountains were learned about the origins and meaning of their names. We even got to saw a few wild monkeys that live on the mountains. On the second day we saw the views from the base of those mountains down on the river. Even though Nora did not join us on the raft she did meet us and ensured we arrived at the location then waited almost 3 hours and the final destination to pick us up. During the trip there she continued to provide a history lesson of Zhangjiajie and answered all the questions we had about the area, China, and her personal experience. During the rafting we got to see a bunch of amazing waterfalls, gorgeous mountain views and even a few goats. If you plan on partaking in any tours ask for Nora. You won't just be getting an amazing tour from a local native but you'll get a tour from a lifelong friend.

10/10 - David was amazing as a guide! He picked me up from my hotel on time and guided me to all locations giving me insight throughout. His English was very fluent and added value to the trip that I would’ve otherwise missed out on. He also recommended food and locations and put me in contact with people for the rest of my trip. I highly recommend him and this tour
