We had very nice days with Andy. We had a big delay due to thunderstorm in Shanghai. Andy was very spontaneous and changed our plans so we could still enjoy and see everything what was important for us. He knows a lot of nice places and routes without too many people. He suggested us nice and friendly hotels. He knows al lot about this region and Chinese history but he isn’t talking frequently. What we really enjoyed :) We can really recommend doing this tour with him!

The best private tour experience I had so far travelling in China! Tour guide, QiuyanLi, was doing all possible to make my short 2-days trip full of new experiences and emotions! She shared a lot of interesting facts about the region, local culture and traditions of minorities, even helped to communciate with them. I really enjoyed Li River cruise and QiuyanLi helped me to capture best moments including famous '20 yuan' photo. I would also highly recommend everyone to visit Longji rice terrace. For me, as foreigner it was first time to see rice terrace and I was really impressed. QiuyanLi gave me a lesson on how to grow rice and build rice field, now feel myself almost an expert :).

The classic shot of Li River is the one called "fishing lights on the Li River", together with sunrise or sunset. In the past, local fishermen paddled their bamboo raft and went fishing on the Li River as night falls. A magical scene appears when the river is dotted with fishing lights. It's a scene that shows an intimate relationship between human and nature.  Highlights: 1. Enjoy the Sunset of the 20RMB note area. 2.  take the photos with fishermen on bamboo rafts or even with the fishing birds. Note: If you want to book this tour ONE day before, you'd better check with us if has a Fisherman available or not, due to sometimes the fishing man is fully booked, thank you.

If you are planning a trip to Guilin + surroundings, Andy is your Guy. I know Andy since 2015 and booked all my four trips to Guilin through him. This included trips where I only needed assistance to book the Li River Cruise and an airport transport but also fully customized private luxury tours with my family. Andy (or members of his team) were always on time, always friendly and helpful, always driving safely and always interested to make the most out of your trip. Professional, trustworthy, perfect English and always a great experience.

DO NOT use this tour company if you are not from China. Our experience was nothing but a huge disaster. We ended up paying to literally experience the land on our own and get completely lost and we were not able to enjoy the beauty the rice terraces had to offer. The tour company only gave back half our money after all the struggles we went through and many many emails later.
