Our 8-day Guilin Natural Scenery Ethnic Minority Discovery tour with Visit Our China was truly a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized and ran very smoothly from beginning to end. From our very first communication with Lisa, we felt confident that everything would be well taken care of. She was always easy to reach, responsive, flexible, and very personable. The hotels she selected for us were all clean, comfortable, and of excellent quality. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very patient with all of our questions. She was attentive to our group's preferences, adapted quickly to our requests, and was always willing to give us extra time whenever we wanted to stay longer at a particular location. Our bus driver was also highly experienced and drove very carefully, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We will always cherish the wonderful memories we made during our tour in Guilin. Thank you, Lisa, for your outstanding service and for making our trip such a memorable experience.

Thanks Lisa! It was a great trip. Luther is an excellent guide, very helpful and proactive. Ms Xuli is very knowledgeable, unfortunately our mandarin is functional at best, so she had to explain a lot of the cultural references she was using. Simon managed to last minute closures and changes well. We learnt a lot, ate a lot (really liked the lunch at Yibin, ciqikou and dinner Lizhuang). Next time I will factor in more time for shopping.
