Our guide Lily was very helpful in explaining the Tulou settlement and culture of the people. She brought us to a very nice place for a wonderful Hakka lunch. It was one of our best meals during our Xiamen holiday. Many thanks to our guide Lily

The tour is well organized covering a lot of different spots. Good transportation, a tasty lunch with traditional dishes (some of the dishes seem strange and are more entertaining than delicious). A lot of exotic things are sold on the way (some roots, herbs, fruits, etc.). I had hard times understanding our guide as her English sounds like Chinese if you do not put effort into listening, but the information she provided was interesting.

The most memorable parts of our outstanding tour with Cathy of the Tianluokeng Tulou include: (1) Cathy’s well-informed expertise in Tulou/Xiamen history, (2) her enthusiastic and detailed insights into the area, culture and history, (3) her attention to detail and thoroughness. Through this tour we were able to have a memorably interesting and informative tour of the Tulou and lunch in Taxia. We could not have gotten this unique taste of the region without Cathy. Thank you to Cathy for her expertise and warm welcome!!

Adam was a wonderful guide, knowledgable and patient. He told us much more than we could ever have known by ourselves and the walk from village to village was a delight.

The tour guide 龚萍 (Gong Ping) was knowledgable and shared many historical and cultural Knowledge about Tulou and Xiamen in general. Very helpful in helping us take photos at iconic landmarks. Private tour was great as we could request to stroll around the village for a longer while. Good to have a car ride as the distance between each destination was far and not very convenient without small vehicles. A bit pricey but still worth the experience.
