Unforgettable - We had the most incredible experience visiting the Linhe Rice Terraces, and it was all thanks to Leo, our guide. From the moment we met him, his kindness and attentiveness made us feel completely at ease. Leo has a remarkable ability to tailor the experience to your preferences. He knew exactly where to take us for the most stunning views which made the trip feel so personal and serene. The rice terraces themselves are breathtaking—a true masterpiece of nature and human ingenuity. Leo’s knowledge of the area and its history added so much depth to our visit. He shared fascinating insights and stories, and his proficient English made it all so easy to follow. Beyond being a fantastic guide, Leo is genuinely delightful to talk to. We had wonderful conversations that made the day even more memorable. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the beautiful scenery. Everything about this tour was seamless. I can’t recommend Leo and this tour enough. It was a perfect day filled with awe-inspiring sights, thoughtful guidance, and unforgettable moments. Five stars aren’t enough for the experience Leo provides—don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Amazing & peaceful day with outstanding guide Leo - I had a perfect experience end to end. I was arriving by train in the morning so I needed pickup at the train station and drop off at the hotel and Leo immediately replied to me via Viator that it was not an issue. Leo is one of the best guides I’ve had in China. He was very responsive on the app, picked me up at the train station, drove, ensured I could see what I wanted to see and escape the other tourists, and provided great information on the sites we visited. He’s also very interesting, we had great conversations and he speaks very well English. I can’t recommend this tour and Leo enough. It was simply perfect. And the rice fields are beautiful. Leo took me to a really nice restaurant offering chicken and rice cooked inside bamboo. It was delicious. Meeting with the long-haired ladies was also an interesting experience. Great day!

Experience one of your best days in China - The day with Lee was one of our best days in China. He picked us up on time, chatted with us the whole journey (which was safe and comfortable) and we learned many interesting facts from him. He was flexible, knowledgeable and kind. We didn't have to worry about anything, Lee handled things for us. Even though we literally spent a whole day together, he was patient and even suggested extra activities. When we mentioned we could use some help getting back from a different city the next day, he arranged a driver for us, for which are very thankful (just saying that this drive was not comfortable though). Rice terraces: everything was according to the information written in the description, moreover, the weather turned out perfectly. We experienced the culture, food, learned some history and finally saw more than just a big city. Must see!

Great Experience! - I booked two tours with Leo, the Li River Day Tour and the trip to the Longji Rice terraces. Both were great, I saw and learned a lot, Leo took his time to explain and everything was very well organized. Definitely recommending it!

GREAT Experience! - We went with our 10 year old son, and a couple friends of us. This was an AMAZING tour. GREAT views of the rice fields, and we are fresh delicious local fruits. We also ate at a wonderful place that the tour guide took us to, where we ate food that was cooked inside bamboo. It was like nothing that we've eaten before. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and was very kind with us. He even went the extra mile, and found a place with a regular toilet, even though we were in a rural area, and it was not the local custom.
