Incredibly good English language guide and tours - Andy is incredibly knowledgable, punctual and helpful. All aspects of our 1-day trip were smooth starting with pick-up from the hotel to a safe return. During the drives back and forth he can fill you in on the brief histories and backgrounds of the places you visit and he usually has some basic knowledge on just about anything you see on the way and is happy to answer questions. It’s actually the little things that make the experience that much smoother. 1) Like his recommendation to take a shuttle up to the views points at the Ping An terraces instead of walking as we had little children. 2) he even accompanied us up to the viewpoint drop off to make sure we went in the right direction (although it’s hard to get lost) 3) And how when our younger son got a bit car sick on the windy mountain road on the way back - he had little plastic sick bags in the car. Can’t recommend him enough. Planning a trip for my parents to Guilin and will hopefully be able to get Andy’s services for them too.
