Thrilling yet relaxing tour!

This was an overall favorite tour in China for me snd my daughter. The scenery was gorgeous and everything was taken at a nice pace, which makes a big difference. Our tour guide Chase was excellent company, giving explanations, answering questions, but also letting us just have some space to take it all in. The lunch provided was at a local farmers house and was delicious. Everything about this tour was fantastic. I’d do it again! Chase paid excellent attention to our interests and then made special efforts to help us with them, such as taking us to a high quality but affordable pearl shop at the end of the day. We loved shopping here and were taught how to distinguish real pearls from fakes.

Response from the operator: Dear Mayra, Thank you for choosing our service for your Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour. We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such a memorable experience. Chase is indeed a fantastic guide, and we're proud to have him on our team. It's great to know he provided the perfect balance of information and relaxation, allowing you to fully enjoy the stunning scenery. We’re also glad you appreciated the local lunch and the shopping experience. If customer requires, we always recommend reputable local shopping mall where you can shop freely without concerns about scams or overpricing. Your satisfaction and trust are our top priorities. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Warm regards, Trippest Customer Service Team

A visit to culture and landscape

We had a great time visiting these beautiful landscapes. The pick-up was on time, the group was small, 6 people. The car was pristine. And our guide, Jay, not only was he knowledgeable, but also he seemed very enthusiastic about nature and the area. He answered all our questions. The restaurant we had lunch was very nice, had a wonderful view, and the food was great. We had bamboo rice and pork filled mushrooms. We recommend this company and this tour to anyone who visit Guilin

Response from the operator: Dear Alicia, Thank you very much for sharing your experience and wonderful pictures on the Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful landscapes, punctual pick-up, small group size, and knowledgeable guide, Jay. It's good to know that you had a great dining experience with a scenic view and delicious food. Your recommendation means a lot to us and we look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure in Guilin! Best Regards, Trippest Customer Care.

Don’t waste time and money on the “long hair” ethnic minority village

We stopped over at the ethnic minority village in Longji to watch a performance. It was a waste of time and money. Time would have been better spent walking up and exploring the rice Terrace.

Response from the operator: Dear customer, We apologize deeply for not being able to conduct the tour as scheduled due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic, which has resulted in lower tourist numbers. As the cost of arranging a private tour exceeded your budget, we regretfully had to cancel your Viator order. However, upon receiving your message expressing your desire to visit, we have recommended a local driver guide who can accommodate your budget. Nevertheless, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a satisfactory experience this time. We hope to have the opportunity to arrange a private tour with a dedicated guide during your next visit to ensure a fulfilling travel experience. Wish you a good day!

From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guilin.

How much does From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guilin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guilin is not rushed.

Is From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guilin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour?

+

Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guilin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guilin and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does From Guilin/Yangshuo: Longji Rice Terraces and Ethnic Minority Village Day Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guilin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Guilin?

+

On Outty we rank every Guilin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver, 1-DAY Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Guilin?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Guilin?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
