Excellent day, would really recommend this day trip from Guilin. Our guide Jackie was great, he was full of interesting information and took some great photos of us all! Perfect amount of time at the stops and we actually saw more than I expected with being able to walk to two different parts of the rices terraces.

Incredible tour of the rice terraces and Yao village. Colin, our driver and guide, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule for the day, and suggested an itinerary which kept us ahead of the crowds. Much appreciated! The rice terraces are one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever seen, and the hike down through the village was full of gorgeous views. We had two kids in our group and Colin was great about pacing the day well for us. Highly recommend taking this tour. This is my second visit to Guilin and the second time I’ve used this particular tour company and will recommend them every time.

It was a very nice day. We visited a tea company, went to a Yao show and took a walk through the rice fields of Longji. It was magnificent there! Mike was a fine guide with whom we talked and laughed a lot. So recommended tour!
