Amazing experience, everyone in the group was fascinated with the prodiction, this show is a must see for everyone in town! Our guide was great, always helpful, answered quickly all of our questions, got the tickets sorted, explained what to do and even helped us to retrieve a bag we forgot in the show. We are very greatful and completely recommend

Beautiful places to visit if you are staying in Guilin. We discovered the rice fields in winter which is not the best time but it was not very busy and that added to the beauty of the place. We were lucky to see a show of the Yao women with long hair. Our guide was pleasant. The price however was excessive probably because we were the only family

We highly recommend this tour with Guide Andy! He speaks English and knows a lot about the landscape, people and daily life. The car was clean and he has a good driving style.

The driver was waiting for us at the station at the agreed time. The car was spacious and clean. I highly recommend their service.

Davey our guide was very informative, helpful and picked out the best spots for photos of the sunrise!
