5.00We booked two full days of tours with RileyLi and Mr. Gong (our driver), and both days were absolutely fantastic. Mr. Gong’s driving was smooth and comfortable throughout, which made a big difference—especially on our first day when the weather wasn’t great. We always felt safe and well taken care of. RileyLi was exceptional. She was always punctual, professional, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to assist us with the language barrier during lunch and shopping, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. What truly stood out was her kindness and warmth. She was always ready to accommodate our needs with a smile, and we genuinely loved spending time with her—even sharing meals together. She didn’t just guide us; she became part of our Chinese adventure. We highly recommend RileyLi to anyone visiting—she will make your experience truly special!

5.00My husband and I are on our honeymoon in China, and we chose to take this tour with Wendy to make the most of our time and enjoy the scenery without any stress. Wendy was an outstanding guide—warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her English is excellent, and she made sure to take us to the best spots while also accommodating our requests. The parks are very large, so having someone guide us through them made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. She even took some wonderful photos of us! Thank you, Wendy, for being part of our honeymoon and making it even more special.
