One recent review from September 27th highlights the exceptional service of a guide named Bruce, who expertly navigated the park’s hidden gems, ensuring minimal wait times and a seamless experience.

“Best Tour Guide - Bruce was the best tour guide ever! We contacted other agencies but they tried to upsell us on other activities and told us that it was impossible to see ZhangJiaJie in two days. Bruce was so knowledgeable and knew all the perfect spots for taking photos without all those big tour groups around. He also had the timing for the tour perfectly so we barely had to wait longer than 10 minutes in any line and avoided the large crowds.”
