Horrible service both operationally and customer support. Driver didn’t show up at pick up location even though our train arrived on time. He eventually arrived 30 minutes late. No reason given and Viator refused refund or compensation.
Avatar Mountain with Nora ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the most amazing day in Zhangjiajie. Our guide, Nora, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She took us through the incredible Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, including the famous “Avatar” mountains, and her knowledge of the area was outstanding. What really made the day special was how she went beyond the typical tourist spots. We explored so many places and viewpoints that we would never have discovered on our own. Nora was friendly, professional, and made everything easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend booking with Nora if you’re visiting Zhangjiajie—it truly made our experience unforgettable.

The day in the nature park we loved it, but we enjoyed it to the full thanks to our guide, Elisa. A great professional and a charm as a person! We would definitely repeat with her if we came back and we will not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Elisa for the special days you put us through!

Wendy was absolutely phenomenal as our tour guide through Zhangjiajie National Park and the Glass Bridge. From start to finish, she made the experience seamless, informative, and full of heart. Her deep knowledge of the park’s history, geology, and hidden gems brought the landscapes to life in a way we couldn’t have imagined on our own. She navigated us through the crowds with ease, gave us the best photo tips at the Avatar Mountains, and made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight—from the serene beauty of the Tianzi Mountain views to the thrilling walk across the Glass Bridge. Wendy’s warmth, humor, and genuine care made the entire adventure unforgettable. We felt lucky to have her guiding us through one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Highly recommend booking with her if you want a meaningful and stress-free journey through Zhangjiajie!

The itinerary was excellent covering all the major aattractions. Lunch was better than most of those included in tours, full menu, nice ambience. But best of all was our guide May who spoke excellent english, understood all of our questions, and took an interest in our enjoyment . Her pace was just right. She was the best guide we have had in china.

The mountains are breathtaking and a must see. The park is huge with 4 separate regions, various shuttle buses, cable cars, and numerous large tour groups. If traveling independently from abroad, a tour guide is a must. Our tour guide Anna was amazing. She made the visit move along seamlessly and enriched the whole experience with information about the region’s history, culture, and geography. She took us to some “secret spots” with few tourists (which is extremely rare) and amazing views. I traveled with two energetic boys and zoomed through the planned itinerary. Anna was extra generous and took us to a bonus spot in the valley for a walk along a stream. If possible, try to request her!!

Everything you would want it to be and more! I knew nothing about Zhangjiajie, except that my daughter had learned about it in high school and wanted to go. So I booked this excursion blindly and it was fabulous! Wendy was our tour guide and she went above and beyond to make our day great. From hotel pickup to history, and culture of the National park she was right on point. The mountains were beautiful, the cable car was fun, and we had a great day. Wendy took the time to show us some sites that were off the beaten path and was so very patient with all of the pictures we took. She even recommended some things for our next day that was an amazing day as well. Hint: We went at the end of August and had no lines or crowds. We were told the weeks before were crazy crowded.
Beautiful Zhangjiajie

Highly recommend this full day tour to Zhangjiajie! The tour company was very accommodating of our change in plans. Eileen was such a great tour guide, we really enjoyed talking with her and learning more about the area. The views were absolutely stunning and well worth the visit to Zhangjiajie. The park was very crowded but Eileen was able to get us through lines rather quickly. Thank you Eileen!!
