Daniel was our tour guide for a 6 day, 5 night tour of Zhangjiajie, Furong and Fenghuang. The secret spots he knew were truly hidden and special - we were able to enjoy the amazing sights of Zhangjiajie without the crowds. He also took us to the beautiful Sitting Dragon Gorge, which was a fantastic tour experience. Daniel went out of his way to make us feel as comfortable as possible. Since we were interested in Chinese painting, he also organized two special programs for us related to this, which made the trip even more memorable. He had interesting stories about each site and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. He also paid special attention to the older members of our group, so they could enjoy the trip in complete comfort and safety. Daniel's expertise, attentiveness and enthusiasm made this experience truly special for us.

Eric went above and beyond to lead our family in a private 5 day trip to Zhang Jia Jie and Phoenix Town. Each day was packed full with amazing activities and sightseeing, and he was very patient with all of us, especially since there were older ppl in the group. What I loved about Eric was that he was very knowledgable about all the places we visited, and we felt really comfortable asking him any questions. He took special care of my dad who couldn't walk as much, and made sure we got VIP tickets so he didn't have to wait in line. His food recommendations were also on point, and we enjoyed some delicious local spicy food!! I would definitely recommend Erick to anyone looking for an amazing tour guide who will listen to your needs, take you to the best places, and all the lesser knowns places as well that are not as touristy!! Such a memorable family trip that we will always cherish.

The views are amazing, the guide Eric is funny, knowledgeable and agile in thinking. Eric is also a wonderful singer, belting out his 山歌 melodiously. He also walk through the entire routes together with us, providing us explanations of the history and story behind the different sceneries. He is a good photographer too, helping us to take many nice, unique photos which is at instagrammable levels.

He's very experienced and was able to share alot of details on places we visited.. Quite a bit of walking to get up the mountains but it's worth the effort! Overall a great experience with our friendly and outgoing guide. Highly recommend!!

.We spent three days with Eric and it was a wonderful experience. Visiting the amazing Avatar Mountains, getting to know the beautiful traditional village of Fenghuan and ending at the spectacular Gate of Heaven made our trip to China one of the best experiences we have ever had. Eric, thank you very much for your great professionalism and for having made us spend some fantastic days.

The area of Zhangjiajie is a must see. The Avatar mountains are stunning and by using an amazing guide like Eric you maximise your time here. We would have never seen as much as we did and had so much insight without him. Fenghuang is a bit of a drive but the night scene is amazing with the ancient town beautifully lit up. The perfect finale is Tianmen Mountain with it’s amazing views and glass platform. This is a stunning area but our guide Eric made it even more special.
