- Beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and great food A great experience overall. It was fascinating to learn about the Yao minority women and their unique tradition of growing and maintaining very long hair – something I hadn’t seen before. The rice terraces were stunning: note that there are different views depending on the season. Summer and autumn are especially beautiful, with lush green or golden layers stretching across the hills. The scenery alone is worth the trip. We also had a delicious local meal with regional specialties. A well-organized and memorable tour that combines nature, culture, and food in the best way.

Great experience - We had a car with Peter all for us. The drive was smooth and he left us a lot of time to hike the terraces and enjoy the views. The experience from the top is priceless. Very happy with the tour!

It was a truly wonderful and beautiful day. - We were picked up on time and drove to the minority village. Since we arrived early, there were hardly any other visitors, so we were able to enjoy the peace and fully take in the atmosphere of the village. Afterwards, we continued to the rice terraces. We chose to walk the trail (though there’s also a shuttle option), which allowed us to enjoy beautiful views over the fields. To finish the day, we stopped at a local restaurant and tried some delicious food, such as bamboo rice. There weren’t many tourists, and it was impressive to see the stunning terraces. Our guide was very friendly, and we truly had a fantastic trip.

Amazing service!!! - The tour is excellent. I was picked up on time by a lovely guide called Peter, as it was low season i was the only guide. Peter took excellent care of me, and was great company through out the day. He was accomodating to all my requests, friendly, offered great fun conversation. Brought me to and from Longji safe, punctually and so i got a great experience. I can highly reccommend Peter as a guide and booking with this company. After booking the owner also reached out immedeately to inform me of the day's itiniary. Can highly reccommend when visiting Guilin!

The ultimate, economical and efficient tour - Despite the very short notice they managed to organize us an incredible day on the dragon's mane with its rice terraces and get closer to the YAO culture with their black and very long haired women. It was a memorable, unforgettable experience. Our guide has supported us in our every need, satisfying our every curiosity. The organization was efficient, I recommend, cheaper than other tours that offer you in hotels or tourist centers scattered around the city.
