Total immersion in Longji rice fields

We had an absolutely unforgettable day with Leo. From 8:10 am until 10:30 pm, he was by our side with incredible energy and kindness. His perfect English, his knowledge of rice terraces (from agricultural production to local traditions) and the surrounding flora, allowed us to understand and feel the magic of this place. Always patient for photo and video breaks, smiling and listening, Leo offered us much more than just a visit: a real trip to the heart of local culture. After enjoying the traditional rice cooked in bamboo, he took us back to Guilin and, at 8.30pm on a Sunday night, he took us to a massage parlour again so that we could finish the day relaxing. This level of dedication is rare. More than a guide, Leo is a true ambassador of his region, and I can only warmly recommend his private tour to anyone who wants to live an authentic and memorable experience.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed feedback on the tour. It was very kind of you to take the time to write such a nice review for us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the natural landscape, our driver-guide's services, the food, and more. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful day with us. Our goal is that no matter where you come from, when you join our tour, we will ensure you get true value for your money. You may only visit Guilin once in your lifetime, and we want to make sure you leave with great memories. We hope you will recommend our tour services to your friends. It was a pleasure to have you all; you were a very nice group. We hope you will enjoy the rest of your time in Yangshuo and the remainder of your trip in China. All the best to you and your family.

Perfect full-day tour!

Leo was a great guide and we really enjoyed the full day tour! Rice terrace and the long-hair village are both wonderful, I really suggest to book this tour from Guilin!!! Leo was really kind, he also took us to see the hair products factory in the village and once the tour was over, before dropping us off at the hotel, he took us to see the famous pagodas of Guilin, which was really much appreciated!

Response from the operator: Thank you for your very kind words about the tour. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the rice terraces and the Long-Hair Village. You are such a kind and friendly person. China is a vast country with a beautiful countryside and various scenic spots. We warmly welcome you to come back to China in the future. We wish you a wonderful time for the rest of your trip here!

Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces Full-Day Tour with Village Walks: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces Full-Day Tour with Village Walks cost?

+

Prices start at $59 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 Full-Day Tour with Village Walks 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 Full-Day Tour with Village Walks 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 7 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 Full-Day Tour with Village Walks?

+

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 Full-Day Tour with Village Walks suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Guilin: Longji Rice Terraces Full-Day Tour with Village Walks?

+

Around 2 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 Full-Day Tour with Village Walks 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.
