Southern China Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The views along the river were stunning. The transfer and cruise were well organised and managed. Lily Cao was our guide and she was great at explaining what to look for to get the most out of the cruise. She took great photos and really looked after us well, often going the extra mile. She also arranged an optional tour of Ruyi Peak, which was stunning especially at sunset

Good driver, nice car. Interesting culture and colorful rice fields.

We spent 4 amazing days, our guide was really good in English and she always made sure we were never lost. Suey proposed really good activities and adapted herself to our needs and even helped us change our train. She was really kind and made us try local foods and always made sure that the restaurant was adapted to our needs.

WENDY was amazing! So patient and kind to us. She explained things so well and she was really sweet! I would recommend this to everyone and ask for Wendy!!

WENDY WAS AMAZING! Best tour guide ever. Highly recommend for an epic day exploring all this area has to offer

Tony, our guide, was energetic and we clearly saw his love and knowledge of the area. The Zhangjiajie National Park was breathtaking, the glass bridge was not so scary. We had a good time there although it was lightly raining. Seeing the bungee jumping and zip lining visitors was very nice to see. We were excited for them. Tony, with his clear knowledge of the surroundings guided us to the best photo opportunity areas. Pics of the famous Avatar movie mountains are something we would treasure. Also his guidance to a less crowded viewing area for great photos at Yuanjuajie. We found Tony’s explanation of the history of the area very interesting, especially through the lens of a minority Chinese. We enjoyed this leg of our tour very much, this being the tallest mountain we experienced climbing.

We had a great day in Zhangjajie visiting Tienamen Mountains and Glass Bridge. Even though was a heavy rainy day, we fully enjoyed it with Miraa, our very nice and well documented guide! Amazing and breathtaking views! We highly recommend Miraa for Zhangjajie tours!

Ellen was an incredible tour guide and the driver was great also! Booking this was super easy and the pick up and drop off at all the locations was very smooth. Ellen was very informative about everything and enriched my experience. She took me to places where there were not many tourists to get a local feel. She even gave me recommendations for the rest of my time in Guilin. I would 100% recommend Ellen and this tour.

Amazing experience with a really nice and well prepared guide. highly recommended. An easy hike with the stunning view pf the rice terraces

Fantastic adventure trip. Highly recommended. My tour guide was very well-read and super friendly. A people-oriented experience. Culturally, there was a lovely show in the Longhair Village that explained the tradition.

Our lovely guide Lilly. She added on some great excursions and genuinely had a connection with the group. As an extra bonus she sang some lovely folk songs on the bus.

I had a two day private tour of Guilin with English speaking guide Janet. She was very punctual and took me cruise of wonderful Li River, guided me to the Sanjie dreamy show in Yangshuo, guided me to Reed Flute Cave and Yangshuo country side. It was a fun and informative trip. I highly recommend booking this trip with Janet as she is very knowledgeable of the area in Guilin and Yangshuo!!

Delia was fantastic as our guide.... She's sensational!!!! None could have been better... . The driver was also very attentive and kept our safety intact....

We had the most amazing day in Zhangjiajie. Our guide, Nora, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She took us through the incredible Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, including the famous “Avatar” mountains, and her knowledge of the area was outstanding.What really made the day special was how she went beyond the typical tourist spots. We explored so many places and viewpoints that we would never have discovered on our own. Nora was friendly, professional, and made everything easy and enjoyable.I would highly recommend booking with Nora if you’re visiting Zhangjiajie—it truly made our experience unforgettable.

Our tour to Tianmen Mountain (the famous “Doorway to Heaven”) and the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge was absolutely incredible!Kaia was an amazing guide — so organized, friendly, and fun to be around. She made everything smooth and stress-free while making sure we hit the best spots for views and photos. At the canyon, we did the zipline and the slide, which were SO much fun and such a thrill!Kaia truly made the day special with her energy and attention to detail. Highly recommend this tour — and definitely ask for Kaia!

The day in the nature park we loved it, but we enjoyed it to the full thanks to our guide, Elisa. A great professional and a charm as a person! We would definitely repeat with her if we came back and we will not hesitate to recommend her.Thank you Elisa for the special days you put us through!
