We had an excellent trip to Shaolin Monestary and Longmen Grottos. Spring is a very knowledgeable and experienced local guide, and a very kind and attentive person. He answered our pre-trip questions promptly, picked us up on time. He adapted our itinerary to fit our schedule, and ensured we were on time for our train at the end of the tour. His English is good. Above all his explanations were insightful and interesting (unlike many other guide that just quote dozens of statistics). 5 stars well earned! Highly recommended
Great day trip with Spring

Had a great tour organized in detail by Spring. He had all the details under control and suggested also activities in order to use the time very efficiently. Shaolin temple is really wonderful and my recommendation is, having time, to spend one night in the area to enjoy the scenery.

Spring is the best driver and trip organisator you can find in Luoyang! He speaks fluent English and is very kompetent and friendly! He helped us to organize our trips and send detailled instructions how you can manage the tour. With his help we could buy a VIP Tickets and have a best seats in Shaolin Show wwithout waiting on the endless cue. We had 3 daily trips with Spring and we enjoyed all 3 days. He take care for the clients and help to fullfil all wishes. As I said - Spring is the best you can get and you don't need anything else but Spring in Luoyang! Strongly and high recommendended!!!

Longmen grottoes is very amazing of cultural treasure. A lot of people there but the queue was not take a long time because of good management. Don’t forget the hat, the umbrella and the bottle of water because you will dehydrate from hot weather. Our guide tour has in-depth knowledge and very friendly.
Great tour, would recommend!

We are a family of 5 visited 4 cities of China for 7 days. Spring provided us with great service of vans and drivers. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Even the last minutes arrangement of transportation to places like Yuntaishan and Shaolin he also help us greatly. I would definitely recommend him.

Me and my wife had an awesome day with Spring when visiting Luoyang. We have been travelling with train through China and Luoyang was one of the stops on our trip. I was contacted by Spring beforehand to ensure that we arrived safely and confirm pick-up location and time. The car was modern, clean and well cared for with AC (Much needed in summer!). As a first stop we got to visit the Shaolin temple, walk around the area and see the Kung fu show by the best students of the school. The temple is a bit outside of the city and it was good to start there. After seeing the Shaolin temple we headed to Longmen grottoes, a really cool site with thousands of Buddhas carved directly from the rock. A must-see! During the tour Spring gave us a lot of information about history of the locations, Chinese cultures and other interesting bits of information.
