Private Day Tour: Opdag Zhangjiajie National Forest Park-Avatar Mountain

Sapphire was a great tour guide. We were picked up at our hotel right in time. Entered Zhangjiajie Forrest Park at the east entrance 5 minutes from our Wulingyuan Hotel. Since the day before was foggy sapphire suggested a relaxing walk along the creek on our way to Bailong Elevator. The elevator showed 332 floors before we started and it took only 1:10 minutes to get to the top. After a quick snack we went to the Avatar Mountains after which we took the cable car back down. Great day with no fog.

Had a great day with Luna our guide to see Zhangjiajie. She showed us everything we wanted to see and gave us a lot of choices to see various place plus took us to an amazing Chinese restaurant for lunch. The service was impeccable!

What a wonderful day trip to the Zhangjiajie National Forest. Everything was perfectly organized which allowed me to see so much in one day. Lulu was a wonderful guide who showed so much enthusiasm the entire day! I would recommend you ask for her as she is one of the best guides in all my experiences. By the way. I visited the National forest in December - which is the off season. It was cold, but the visit was spectacular as it wasn't crowded.

We visited Zhangjiajie during Mid-Autumn festival and we had a great experience. Our guides David (first day) and Nancy (day 2 and 3) have organised all details perfectly. It has been a perfect balance between hiking, driving and fun entertainment for our tweens, like the zip line and the slide. We managed to visit all main attractions in the region and despite holiday period we didn’t have to queue long and it was not too packed at the times we were at the attractions. We definitely recommend this tour and our guides.

Charlie was an excellent guide! He knows a lot about the places we visited and knows all the routes very well. He recommended some great restaurants to eat delicious local food. Plus he is very funny and an excellent photographer. 100% recommended.

We went to Zhangjiajie in July 2024 guided by Michael and it was an exceptional tour!!!! The stunning region of ZhanJiaJie is amazing and incredible with lot of fun activities if you are interested (Zip lane, slides, …). Luckily, Michael was our quide and helped us to make it memorable! His extensive knowledge of the area allowed us to discover all the best spots while efficiently navigating to avoid the crowds. His amiable nature was especially appreciated by the children (2 boys of 10 and 11 y.o), who thoroughly enjoyed the stay thanks to Michael's constant kindness. Moreover, he consistently provided us with insightful and practical information, enhancing our experience significantly. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to explore ZhanJiaJie; his expertise and warm demeanor truly made our trip memorable.

My husband and I went to Tianmen Mountain. We were hosted by Tony, he is a native of Zhangjiajie and knows a lot about local culture and history, and his English is very good. He was very detailed when guiding us, for example telling us about the indigenous tribes in Zhangjiajie, the original story that inspired the film Avatar, the meaning of Tianmen Mountain for local residents, even telling us about good photo spots and shortcuts to avoid long queues at the counter, and took us to local restaurants. which serves delicious noodles and dimsum.

I arranged my tour online with assistance of Venus, who tailored the itinerary to match my interests. Despite our tight schedule, our guide Tony surpassed my expectations, making the impossible possible. From the moment we met, Tony provided valuable insights, enriching our experience with his complementary information alongside the stunning scenery. His suggestions consistently exceeded my expectations, ensuring a truly authentic and enjoyable tour.Tony is not just any tour guide; he's energetic, clever, and warm-blooded, making him one of the best you'll ever encounter. Simply put your trust in him, and your tour will remain in your mind with the best memories!

I booked through Venus and had Shirley as my tour guide. I only had one day to do the park and I’m so glad I booked these guys. First stop was Yangzhazhie part - going up in a cable car and then lots and lots of walking (including some very narrow passages). This area is great - it has awesome views and far fewer tour groups than the other sections. After that we went and joined the masses at Yuanzhajie - which is a must do as the views here are spectacular. The walking in this section is much easier. We had lunch here first and then did the trails with spectacular view so of rock formations. From Yuanzhajie we went to the Bailong elevator to descend and then for a walk along the river - although if you’re tired you don’t need to do this whole path. We did a short section - the river has lots of tourists in it (!) and lots of crowds feeding the monkeys then wondering why they got bitten! I would definitely recommend this tour. Shirley was a great guide and also knew how to just keep one step ahead of the tour group timings so you don’t end up in huge queues for shuttle bus or elevator. Thank you!

I spent a long weekend in Zhangjiajie with my favorite tour guide Venus. She knows the best places to visit, the right time to visit, and the best way to avoid crowds. She is fluent in English, smart, and tough in a beautifully protective way. The mountains, caves, tea houses, rivers, and canyons make Zhangjiajie a special place to visit and having Venus to navigate the region makes it so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Zhangjiajie and Venus as the guide.
