Thank you Lele for your highly extensive level of professionalism and grace.
![]() This was my first trip abroad and I was not sure what to expect. Our tour guide Lele in Guilin was beyond amazing. Lele provided us with extensive knowledge about the culture and its history. Lele was very accommodating and managed our family with ease and grace. Lele took the time to engage with us each personally throughout the trip which made the tour even more meaningful. Lele was always punctual and highly organized during our trip. Simply put, Lele makes it feel as if you are touring abroad with your best friend. You almost forget that you are away from home. Thank you China Highlights for your amazing tour and thank you Lele for your highly extensive level of professionalism and grace.

Sa culture générale impressionnante, sa passion pour l’histoire et sa parfaite ma?trise du fran?ais ont grandement enrichi notre expérience. Toujours disponible, à l’écoute et capable de répondre à toutes nos questions avec précision, Eric a su rendre chaque visite captivante. Grace à lui, nous avons découvert bien plus que de simples paysages : une véritable immersion culturelle. Nous le recommandons chaleureusement à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la Chine autrement, en profondeur et avec authenticité. more
