5.00Spectacular. They picked us up by bus at the hotel despite it being outside the perimeter where they guaranteed the Service and took us back there. Duration ok. You walk a lot but it's worth it. Tracy our drive very good and patient. Adequate photo space and even took us to a place closed to the public where it was just us. Small group(10) and that's fine. Doing it yourself is very possible but the park is huge and connected between the various sites by shuttle bus so it becomes difficult to see everything.
Nice day tour

5.00Spectacular site but people make a difference. Our guide, Emilia, as spectacular as the scenery. Attentive, explained everything, friendly, funny, patient with the group, seeing how to comply with everyone,... Without doubt the best of the excursion. Ask her if you're going on this field trip. I have done many trips and excursions and certainly the best guides I have seen in attitude and fitness
Amazing Tour and great guide!

5.00This is a review for the Zhangjiajie forest park day tour. The mountains at the forest park are incredible with plenty of scenic photograph taking spots. This is a must-see place in China there is nowhere else like it and where the avatar mountains are located. We did everything in the stated itinerary and the views were absolutely stunning. I was picked up right at my hotel on time, just be prepared for a long day and not a tight schedule but you will see everything important at the forest park! Our tour guide Lemi was very sweet and did a great job keeping the group all together despite the queues, crowds, buses and multiple stops. I really appreciated all the pictures she took of each of us including videos and even a drone video! Her English and photography skills are excellent and she was very patient and accommodating. Thank you Lemi!
