Exceptional, expert and interesting tour of Tianluokeng Tulou - The most memorable parts of our outstanding tour with Cathy of the Tianluokeng Tulou include: (1) Cathy’s well-informed expertise in Tulou/Xiamen history, (2) her enthusiastic and detailed insights into the area, culture and history, (3) her attention to detail and thoroughness. Through this tour we were able to have a memorably interesting and informative tour of the Tulou and lunch in Taxia. We could not have gotten this unique taste of the region without Cathy. Thank you to Cathy for her expertise and warm welcome!!

The tour guide 龚萍 (Gong... - The tour guide 龚萍 (Gong Ping) was knowledgable and shared many historical and cultural Knowledge about Tulou and Xiamen in general. Very helpful in helping us take photos at iconic landmarks. Private tour was great as we could request to stroll around the village for a longer while. Good to have a car ride as the distance between each destination was far and not very convenient without small vehicles. A bit pricey but still worth the experience.

Outstanding UNESCO site tour - This was an outstanding opportunity to learn about unique architecture and part of the world. I had a prompt pick-up at an Xiamen hotel, after booking just about 36 hours before an unexpected free day. Cathy my tour guide was enthusiastic and spoke English very well. The driver was safe and car comfortable. Our visit of Tianluokeng Tulou was fascinating - definitely worth the 2 plus hour drive each way. Take you time, don’t rush through with just a quick photo. Lunch in a small village provided local color, and the visit to the active temple was a chance for this westerner to talk with locals. In addiction, the drive allowed us to discus daily life and current events in China. We easily made a few on-the -spot travel changes that made this a custom experience. Recommend this unique opportune to see an important UNESCO village. I would hire this company, guide, and driver again.

Lovely day trip to see Tulou and Hakka village - Took me a while to finically decide on joining the private tour as it’s quite expensive. Turns out it’s quite worth the price. The responds to my queries online were very quick and helpful. Our tour guide Adam was very prepared. He messaged me ahead of time and organised everything neatly. The 2 hours road trip was comfortable. Adam explained well everything regarding the places we saw as well as anything about Xiamen. We enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anyone who don’t mind to pay a bit more for a comfortable and hassle free day.

Dive into traditional life - The tour is well organized covering a lot of different spots. Good transportation, a tasty lunch with traditional dishes (some of the dishes seem strange and are more entertaining than delicious). A lot of exotic things are sold on the way (some roots, herbs, fruits, etc.). I had hard times understanding our guide as her English sounds like Chinese if you do not put effort into listening, but the information she provided was interesting.
