thanks for your excellent reviews for us. Jeff is a knowledgeable tour guide. It's also our honor to serve you. thanks again! kind regards!
Jeff was such a great host! He was very funny and caring, and an excellent storyteller. He really made the entire experience so much better than it could have been. He was also patient with us during the tour and stayed with us until much later in the evening than anticipated. The tour itself was fantastic. We went to the Ping'an rice terraces and visited the Huangluo Yao Village and got to see the spectacular Yao women and their long hair. Lunch was great and very reasonably priced. Learning about tea picking and sampling the various teas in the evening was an unexpected joy! Thank you, Jeff, for making our experience so wonderful!
Hi Jonathan and thanks for your positive reviews. Jeff is an excellent tour guide, and his rich experience has been praised by many tourists. Thank you again! Best regards!
We are a group of 6 friends who booked Jerry for this tour. Communication with him up to the day of trip was smooth. He was responsive and helped in the many questions I had and provided tips too. The trip with him to the rice terrace was enjoyable and he was accomodating to our needs. He was not available in the next day for another day outing in Yangshuo and he arranged for anorher English driver guide Jacky for us. Jacky was also attentive and took good care of us. Thank you very much Jerry and Jacky!
Hi Mandy, Thank you for your kindness to post this review here. Your satisfaction is the great encouragement for us. thanks again! kind regards!
Jerry provided a great tour for my partner and I. Hotel pickup was very easy, and perfectly on time. Very relaxed drive to the area, with Jerry providing lots of snippets of knowledge along the way. Had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone considering.
Thank you for your excellent comment, and it is also a pleasure to have a wonderful day with you.
Beautiful visit to the rice terraces. Our guide Jerry offered to take us to the Dazhai section, which I highly recommend—quieter, more dramatic landscapes, a nice cable car ride up followed by an easy hour-long walk down. Really peaceful afternoon with stunning scenery. Jerry was also helpful in assisting us to arrange other activities in town. Great experience!
thanks! Thomas, Your fair evaluation is a great encouragement to me. We will do our best to serve our customers well. Thank you again!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this private tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region. The rice terraces were breathtaking, and the Dazhai area was incredibly beautiful even in March, with a unique charm and peaceful atmosphere. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The tour was very well organized, and I especially appreciated how my request for a longer hike was fully accommodated. This made the experience even more memorable, allowing me to truly immerse myself in the stunning landscapes. The visit to the Yao women’s long hair show was another highlight for me—I found it both fascinating and culturally enriching. I also want to highlight the excellent service throughout the day. The private tour was conducted in a new and very comfortable car, and Jackie—who was both my driver and guide—was extremely professional, kind, and attentive. He drove very safely, which made me feel relaxed at all times, and went above and beyond to ensure everything matched my expectations. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish.
