    Great tour near guilin

    We did the Longji Rice Terrace tour with Ada, and we had a blast! She was a top guide explaning us all the history about the place we visited. She was waiting for us at our hotel lobby in Guilin and then she took us to the rice terraces. On the way she was asking us wheather we need something and she was concerned about our well-being. Ada speaks a fluent and really good english which allows us to learn about the site we were visiting with the explanations. At the end she drop us off on the hotel entrance making sure we returned to the right hotel. 100% recommended. Thank you Ada

    Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup 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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup?

    +

    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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup 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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup?

    +

    Around 3 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 Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup 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.

    What is included in Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup?

    Included: Travel insurance; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Licensed English-speaking guide(Driver-guide for 1-6 pax; guide+driver for 7-15 pax); and Longji Rice Terraces entrance fee.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Longji Rice Terraces Group Tour Long Hair Village Guilin Pickup?

    +
