Great experience (even when raining!)

The park is large, and it was great to have a guide help me with the shuttle buses/transfers. My guide, Amy, was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to spend the day with. She helped me know what the best seats would be, the best places to take pictures, etc. She was even willing to message with me to help me find other things to do while I was in town. I was only in the area for a weekend, so Amy helped make sure I got the most out of it!

Pure Magic In Zhangjiajie

Today's trip to Zhangjiajie was absolutely amazing! The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning mountain views that exceeded all my expectations. A special thank you to Jenny, who made the entire experience exceptional. She knows Zhangjiajie like the back of her hand, and every detail of the day was perfectly organized. Thanks to her expertise, we avoided unnecessary waiting, saw the best viewpoints, and enjoyed a seamless itinerary. Jenny also shared many valuable recommendations, not only for the rest of my current visit but also for a future trip with my children, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend visiting Zhangjiajie, and if you have the chance, ask for Jenny as your guide. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about making sure her guests have the best possible experience. It was an unforgettable day, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide.

An awesome day immersed in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

These mountains are absolutely breathtaking at every turn. It is one of the world's true natural wonders and a must see on any bucket list. I'd highly recommend booking this day trip. Arianna our guide was very knowledgeable and fantastic with our 3 kids. The shuttle buses within the park are very convenient too. A hot tip, if going during the busy period ask to get the VIP tickets as we saw many signs saying wait times in busy periods can be over 30mins

Fantastic experience with our guide Arianna.

We have lived our experience with the guide Arianna, who has been very friendly and kind. In addition to explaining in detail all the information and history of the different places and their locals, she has been a great companion. Moreover, she is a very patient girl, who has prioritized our preferences and opinions at all times. We recommend her 100%; if we had to repeat today, we would not hesitate to experience it with her again, as she has been an excellent companion. P.S.: She took the best photos of us!!!

Nina was amazing! In a day, we did the gold whip stream, avatar mountains and tianzi mountain. She answered any questions I had and was very knowledgeable. I could talk to her to both English and my (limited) Chinese. I did the tour solo and it was super fun with Nina!!

Private guided tour to Zhangjiajie

Our private guided tour of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was a fantastic experience, thanks to our guide, Karen. She did an excellent job organizing a smooth itinerary, leading us along the peaceful paths of the Golden Whip Stream and taking us up the impressive Bailong Elevator without any hassle. Exploring the incredible rock formations of Tianzi Mountain was a major highlight, made even better by Karen’s local knowledge and great timing to avoid the biggest crowds. Her professionalism, warmth, and navigating skills made our visit both easy and thoroughly enjoyable.
