Tour agency recommendation

Hi, can you recommend me a good tour agency or tour guide for a 5 day tour to Xiamen and Mt Wuyi?

We’re planning to go in October, after the National Day Golden Week.

Is October a dry season?

Thank you very much!

For a 5-day tour covering Xiamen and Mount Wuyi, it is highly recommended to use a reputable local tour agency or hire a licensed tour guide who can provide transportation, sightseeing, and accommodation arrangements. Local agencies are experienced in managing logistics between Xiamen and Wuyi, as the latter is about 3–4 hours away by car or bus.

Here are some options for tour agencies and guides:

  • Xiamen Tour Guides Association – They provide certified English-speaking guides and custom private tours.
  • Ctrip (Trip.com) – Offers packaged tours and private guides in Xiamen and Wuyi, often with transportation included.
  • Klook – Known for booking day trips and multi-day tours with verified guides.
  • Local hotels – Many hotels in Xiamen have partnerships with tour agencies and can help arrange a multi-day itinerary with a private driver.

Regarding the weather in October:

  • October in Fujian is generally considered part of the dry season, after the summer rainy season ends and before the cold season begins.
  • Expect mild temperatures ranging from 20–28°C in Xiamen, and slightly cooler in the mountainous areas of Wuyi.
  • Rainfall is lower than in summer, so outdoor sightseeing and hiking are more comfortable.

Additional tips:

  • Book your tour or guide in advance, especially after the National Day Golden Week, as many locals may travel then and tours can get booked out quickly.
  • Consider a private driver or tour for Wuyi to save time and have flexibility in visiting tea plantations, scenic spots, and hiking trails.
  • Confirm English proficiency if needed, or plan to use a translation app if your guide speaks only Chinese.

With proper planning, October is a great month to explore both Xiamen city and Mount Wuyi, enjoying pleasant weather and fewer crowds compared to the peak holiday season.
