A rare gem YiWan(Guide)made our Yangshuo trip unforgettable.

We got super lucky to find WAN. He turned out to be one of the most genuine and honest people we met on our China trip.

His prices were way more reasonable than the other guides we spoke to, and there was no pushing or pressure at all, he was very flexible. We originally planned to do just one day with him, but after seeing how kind and helpful he was, we ended up booking him again for a second day.

The best part? He speaks fluent English and not the basic tourist-level stuff, but really fluent. What’s amazing is that he taught himself! That made the whole experience way more enjoyable. We could actually talk about real things and not just about the tour, but also about life in China, family, culture, everything.

He also shared a lot of local tips with us, like where to eat, what to avoid, and some small places that weren’t crowded with tourists.
