Our guide Lele in Guilin was fantastic.
Our guide Lele in Guilin was fantastic. Lele was always smiling, polite, helpful and willing to answer our questions. Given that our group know a lot about Chinese history, this probably put a little extra pressure on Lele to answer our questions. Lele was very knowledgeable, and importantly took care of us. The food on the trip was excellent.highly recommend Lele for your Guilin tour. more
