Great and fun trip! - We had such a great trip, where we saw people working in the beautiful rice terraces and hiked to Zhuang. It was a fun walk and a wonderful scenery. We also learned a bit about how the minority lives. After the hike, our guide took us to long hair village, and I was surprised of how interesting it was to see and discuss the traditions of the long hair women. During the trip we asked our guide for a good place to buy tea, so after the trip he took us to an amazing tea farm. It was also a really good experience. We had such a great day full of good memories.

Relaxing day at Longji Rice Terraces! - We had a beautiful day with Andy our guide at Longji Rice Terraces! What an amazing landscape. All of the rice is already harvest at this time of the year, however, some of the terraces still have water in them and a beautiful golden color. It’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. Andy took us to a traditional bamboo rice and chicken restaurant in one of the villages, it was delicious! Then, after a nice walk Andy took us save and sound to our hotel.

Scenic hiking with a taste of local culture - Colin was a great guide who led an excellent tour through the rice terraces! He was knowledgeable about the area, the foliage, and the customs and traditions. I had the opportunity to eat local specialty dishes and we took the time to stop at a tea plantation on the way back to Guilin. It was a full day and I highly recommend booking if you find your way to Guilin.

Atmospheric day - We went on this trip after doing the 1-Day Guilin Tour to Reed Flute Cave, Xianggong Hill, Bamboo Boat and Night Show tour with Andy. He offered to take us to the rice terraces and we enjoyed our previous day so much that we really wanted to go. The rice terraces were beautiful, we walked for a while through them down into a village where we ate freshly made bamboo chicken and rice - what an experience! The weather let us down a bit with rain and clouds, but Andy kept our spirits up and told us to wait a little and the clouds would clear. As you'd have guessed, they did just that and we got fantastic views down into the valley. When we went, the rice was green but it would be amazing to see it in all it's colours throughout the year. Truly an unforgettable day, super good value for money, and Andy was just fantastic :)

Awesome experience! - A great experience! The Guide is cool and shows you the paths with less tourists. The rice fields are impressive! And it is also great to get to know some minority groups of China. I would definitely recommend this trip

Incredible Tour of Longji Rice Terraces - This was an amazing tour! Our private tour guide Andy was professional, knowledgeable, and lots of fun! He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating. Our schedule was constrained by our flight scheduled in the mid-afternoon. Andy happily accommodated our schedules and created a custom schedule to work around our flight. He provided transportation from our hotel to all of the destinations included on our scheduled tour. He was always happy to answer our questions, and had a detailed historical knowledge of the terraces. Over the course of the day we saw all of the major scenic spots around the rice terraces and the nearby minority villages. It was an incredible experience! I highly recommend this tour, and Andy is the perfect guide for people new to China. At the end of our trip he dropped us off at the airport, and everything was very reasonably priced. Five stars!

The Unforgettable Longji Rice Terraces Trip - Our trip to Longji rice terraces was so unforgettable; Dazhai and Ping'An were really beautiful. Our trip wouldn't be that enjoyable without our guide, Andy. He was so flexible with timing that I asked him to stay longer so we would be able to see the sunset at Ping'An, which he agreed to. When we arrived in Ping'An, all of a sudden everything was covered in clouds, and we decided to go back to Guilin before sunset. However, we did take some impressive photos both in Dazhai and Ping'An. I must say, the cloudy Ping'An has its own beauty. And Andy was so patient with our ever-changing requests.

Two unforgettable days in Longji - We had two unforgettable days with our guide Andy in the rice terraces. Highlights were the hike between two ancient villages through the greenest and lushest rice terraces and the cable car ride in the third village.
