Great experience on Tianmen mountain

We really enjoyed exploring the mountain and then seeing 72 buildings on stilts! Zoey, our guide, was great! She shared information about the city, the mountains, and really helped us to see the entire mountain! I would highly recommend this activity, especially if you can get Zoey as your guide!

We had a great time going to Tianmen mountain and 72 wonders building with our guide, Zoey! We were picked up promptly from our hotel and then took a cable car up to Tianmen mountain. The views were stunning and Zoey helped us take some amazing pictures. This tour was great because nothing in the itinerary was rushed. We stopped for coffee before going to the mountain and also went to a great hotpot restaurant at the recommendation of our guide. She helped us order off the menu and made sure everything was a seamless experience. We had a great time!

Operator response

Dear Vivienne, thank you for the shout-out! We’re thrilled Zoey’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and crowd-navigation skills made your trip so smooth and engaging. We hope to welcome you back to uncover even more of what makes this country unique. Choose Tour-Zhangjiajie, Make Your Trip Easy !

Amazing Experience with RileyLi & Mr. Gong ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked two full days of tours with RileyLi and Mr. Gong (our driver), and both days were absolutely fantastic. Mr. Gong’s driving was smooth and comfortable throughout, which made a big difference—especially on our first day when the weather wasn’t great. We always felt safe and well taken care of. RileyLi was exceptional. She was always punctual, professional, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to assist us with the language barrier during lunch and shopping, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. What truly stood out was her kindness and warmth. She was always ready to accommodate our needs with a smile, and we genuinely loved spending time with her—even sharing meals together. She didn’t just guide us; she became part of our Chinese adventure. We highly recommend RileyLi to anyone visiting—she will make your experience truly special!
