5.00It was a great tour. Even though the weather wasn’t the greatest that day we still got to see a lot and learn a lot about the place. Seeing the avatar mountains was super cool. The guide Mia was super patient in the wet conditions and made sure that we all had a great time. Her English was super good and easy to understand. Would definitely book again.
Great tour to Tianmen Mountain and the Glass Bridge

5.00It was a great tour. Learned a lot about each place that we went to. The guide was patient and waited for us when we wanted to take our time. Our guide Celery was awesome and really helpful. Gave good instructions in English that were easy to understand. She took some pictures for us that were great. Going to Tianmen mountain was super easy with this tour and the group was small so it wasn’t hard to maneuver. Would highly recommend this tour.

Mia & the Misty Mountains (Zhangjiajie National Park)
jsharp16,Jun 18, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The Zhangjiajie National Park tour (Mt. Avatar) is one that I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie for the very first time. Our tour guide for the day (8 hours) was Mia and she was terrific from beginning to end. She went out of her way to make sure everyone got the photos they needed and provided valuable insight on all the attractions in the park. Mia provided the group with a very organized tour and was extremely patient with all the guests. She even waited for me to purchase a backpack before we entered the park since it was a little rainy throughout the day. Mia's English was terrific and she was more than willing to have a conversation with you when guests were off looking around the park. She even provided some excellent recommendations on some local food to try in Zhangjiajie. The park is absolutely stunning and some of the main highlights were the elevator ride up the mountain, the cable car ride, and getting to see some of the local wildlife towards the end of the day. The weather may not have been great (out of our control) but the tour was well worth every penny!
Amazing
