A day-long program where David showed us the beautiful rice fields! Nice tour with nice views
We are absolutely delighted to read your wonderful review. Your kind praise makes all our team’s efforts worthwhile, and we look forward to serving you again soon.
David was an amazing tour guide ! We explored the Longji region (tea plantation, Yao village, Ping’an, Seven Stars with the Moon, etc) and David provided great insights on various cultural aspects. Highly recommended !
We had a wonderful trip with David to the Longji Rice Fields. The scenery was spectacular and David worked very hard to make sure we had a terrific time. We had lunch at a local noodle shop and we even got to go tea picking!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at the Longji Rice Fields with us—and for your kind words about David! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that the spectacular scenery wowed you, that you enjoyed the local noodle lunch, and that the tea-picking activity was a highlight of your trip. David always goes the extra mile to make every guest’s journey memorable, and it means the world to us that his efforts made your time so terrific. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in the future!
It was expected that the journey would be long, but the stay was then too short and only two closely spaced lookouts were hiked.
Seeing your positive feedback, our hearts are filled with warmth and emotion. Thank you for your trust and support, and we will work even harder!
Marvellous tour and a special guide, Billy who managed everything very very well, also giving us a lot of informations. I recommend this tour
Thank you very much for your praise. Your satisfaction is our greatest pursuit.
The full day tour to the Longji rice terraces had been very nice. The scenery is really impressive. Not many Chinese tourists have been there in November either, which also made the tour enjoyable. Can highly recommend the tour. Everything worked out well and we also watched a sunset in the evening.
Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback. Wir werden weiterhin hart daran arbeiten, den besten Service für alle zu bieten. Beste Grüße vom Truly China Travel Team
This was a wonderful tour that I did one-on-one with my guide, Daniel. He took his time to explain the history of the rice terraces, discuss the history of tea in the region while allowing us time to actually sip the tea with a local, and when we had some extra time, he took me to explore other parts of the area, including a Yao village and the hair museum. I really learned so much from him, and would gladly do a tour with him again.
Thank you very much for your appreciation and affirmation! We will continue to maintain a first-class service level and provide you with a better travel experience. Kindest Regards Daniel Huang Truly China Travel's Team
