Great day! - We really recommend this tour with Leo. He was a very nice, polite and well-informed guide. The whole day was fascinating and informative. Without Leo we would not have had such a special day. Leo picked us up in time and brought safely us to our hotel in the evening. He organized tickets very quickly so we did not have to line up at the ticket offices. The communication was easy and we even could communicate via WhatsApp in advance.

Extraordinary tour :) - Liao was an excellent guide who took us through the long tour on Lonji rice terraces and showed us the best spots to enjoy the view and take some pictures. His explanations were also very useful to understand how the rice terraces work and the chinese culture.

A mystical experience! - The trip was a wonderful experience. With a nice walk uphill and few people thanks to our guide that allowed us to avoid the peak time climbing up we went to two view points. Views were spectacular, but the village tour was a bit disappointing since the only way to see the ladies with long hair is to assist to a show in the morning.

Day tour to Rice Terraces - The tour has been one of the best experiences during our stay in Guilin. Leo is a great guide: he speaks a very good English and has been very kind to introduce us to the beauties of the Longji Rice Terraces and nearest village. Highly recommended!

Good experience at the rice terraces - The trip took 2 hours to get there. We arrived at the top of Longshen rice terraces by golf car (not included) and then we walked down. Despite of the bad weather the rice terraces were amazing. Our guide also proposed other interesting activities during the day (not included)
