China Highlights - Yangshuo and the best tour guide Lele!
We utilized China Highlights during the first three legs of our vacation.Lele was our second guide and he greeted us upon arrival in Guilin. His enthusiasm and happy go lucky attitude was clear right away. He gave us a short introduction to our itinerary during our drive to the hotel, as well as some history about Guilin and Yangshuo county, that we would be staying in for the next few days.Lele was knowledgeable and FUN to be with. He had answers to our questions and brought us to some of the best view points Yangshuo had to offer. All though we didn't have bamboo rafting included in our itinerary, we quickly realized that we wanted to do this after all. Lele didn't hesitate to facilitate this into our already planned schedule and got us reservations for the following day. more
