DO NOT use this tour company if you are not from China. Our experience was nothing but a huge disaster. We ended up paying to literally experience the land on our own and get completely lost and we were not able to enjoy the beauty the rice terraces had to offer. The tour company only gave back half our money after all the struggles we went through and many many emails later.

I had booked this private tour with Viator (written confirmation, with date, time, hotel name and pick-up). The operator/guide never showed up, and couldn’t be reached on the designated phone number, despite several tries. Neither I nor Viator could reach them. An hour later they returned my calls and said “I don’t think we have any tours planned today.” (Viator has refunded the tour-cost.)

4. 2 Day - Longji Rice Terraces - Sunrise Hiking Tour

Yangshuo Kevin's - Private Tours

The Longji Rice terraces are certainly a spectacle to behold. Countless terraces roll down from the top of the mountains filled with waves of rice. Either fresh buds giving a luminescent crisp green. Or near the end of the season beautiful golden hues. Even when the rice is gone the steps can still look glorious. And just after they have been filled for planting the terraces turn into mirrors reflecting the sky’s above.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Water, Snacks, Entrance Tickets to Terraces

Exclusions: Long Hair Show *Optional*, Meals, Accommodation, Cable Car in Dazhai *Optional*

The booking for the YangShuo photography tour was confirmed at$280 and it was supposed to start at 5:30 am on Dec. 29. The tour guide, Kevin, sent me a message around 4-5 pm on the 28th. He requested me to pay extra 250 rmb, otherwise the tour would be cancelled. He said it was for transportation charge. I asked him to contact Viator to resolve the problem, because I was taking another tour. He said that he did not get any feedback from Viator, and I ended up paying extra 250 rbm. It was not fair for a traveller to pay extra charge, after everything was confirmed and I was told that I can not cancel it within 24 hours. The guide notified me to pay extra charge within 24 hours... I am wondering whether Viator can resolve this problem. Thanks, Sejin Chung
