    A great full day

    Out guide, Tom, was friendly, informative and spoke English well. We enjoyed the visit to the cane, tea Plantation, and rice terraces. Tom took us to restaurant that had failed views and delicious bamboo rice.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed our guide services. You chose one of the best tours to the Longji Rice Terraces. Taking the cable car to the top gives you a panoramic view of the terraces, and the golf cart ride to the hilltop lets you enjoy the village with its stunning scenery. It's a great way to experience the beauty of the rice terraces in a short time, and it's definitely worth the visit. As local guides, we know the area well and are happy to show our guests to nice restaurants for authentic local meals. We choose these places based on their good reputation and positive feedback from many tourists over time. Enjoy the rest of your trip in China!

    It was an outing...

    It was quite a complete excursion as we visited both Dazhai and Ping’an. Besides being off-season there were not many Western tourists so we were the only 2 with Li, who is an excellent guide with a lot of conversation and a lot of knowledge of the area. Besides being alone he let us choose the itinerary that we wanted, so we decided to see the tea house and the village of women with long hair, as well as both viewpoints and took cable car. He let us choose absolutely everything and, although there were only 2 of us, Li has told us that they usually manage small groups of about 4 people to improve the experience and satisfaction of the group.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for booking the tour with us and for your very positive review. We are delighted to hear that you were very happy with the guide services and found the tour valuable. Thank you for your recognition; we will maintain our high-quality services for all our future travelers. You made an excellent choice with the all-in-one-day tour to the Longji Rice Terraces. This tour is perfectly designed for visitors who want to see as much as possible in a single day. If you have only one or two days in Guilin and wish to fully experience Longji, we are confident this is the best option for you. You can explore the Dazhai Rice Terraces by cable car and discover the Ping'an Rice Terraces by golf cart, allowing you to cover many highlights in one day without feeling overly exhausted. We welcome travelers from all over the world to discover the natural beauty of Guilin, China. Thank you for your kindness, and all the best to you and your family.

    Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 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 Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan 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 Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan Day Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces – Dazhai & Pingan 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 Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour, 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver. 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.
