5.00Incredible tour of the rice terraces and Yao village. Colin, our driver and guide, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule for the day, and suggested an itinerary which kept us ahead of the crowds. Much appreciated! The rice terraces are one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever seen, and the hike down through the village was full of gorgeous views. We had two kids in our group and Colin was great about pacing the day well for us. Highly recommend taking this tour. This is my second visit to Guilin and the second time I’ve used this particular tour company and will recommend them every time.
