Zhangjiajie is fantastic and Eric made our holiday extra special with his attention to detail. Everything was extremely well organized. Eric picked us up at the airport, explained the schedule to us in detail and reported promptly every morning to help us get going. He adjusted the schedule to take advantage of the weather (we got great pictures) and at every attraction everything was very well organized and explained to us. Eric is really passionate about his hometown, culture and food. He recommended great restaurants and food choices. His folklore stories are amazing to listen to. He's also a fantastic singer and treated us to amazing renditions of traditional Chinese love songs. While Zhangjiajie is easy to get around, if you don't speak mandarin and have less time on your hands, I would recommend having a tour guide and Eric is definitely one of the best. He loves his job and his city and he made sure we had a great time.Tour19933229602

ZJJ Review Go for this tour if you want an exclusively local and photography-centric tour. Eric knew very well that we wanted to avoid the massive crowds, and that we wanted to view scenic spots for videography and photography. His extensive knowledge of hidden spots, key timings and view points within Zhangjiajie enabled us to visit quite a few spots which only locals would know of. These places offered not just the serenity for you to capture in the magical landscape of Zhangjiajie, but also the best angles depending on the time of day & sun. We were very lucky to avoid most of the crowds, which is a huge concern for us since their presence could sometimes spoil an otherwise perfect shot. We are extremely thankful to Eric for putting together an itinerary which enabled us to experience the mountains seamlessly, from above, below and around. We stayed in a local tea inn for the first night after viewing the sunset from a remote hill across the tea fields. On the second day, we were able to experience more of the mountains from above, before moving down to the ground and viewing everything from below, by the stream. The walk was not easy, but it was certainly rewarding as being on the ground demonstrated the magnificent scale of these sandstone pillars which we could not have experienced from above. We were gifted with clear skies and great lighting! On the third day, we visited Tianmen Mountain. A sight to behold from near and far. We had to endure a queue to board the cable cars but this was expected. Eric knew where we could get the best angles of the 99 bends, and shared with us where to sit on the cable cars. True enough, we were able to capture some amazing shots with dramatic lighting. Without Eric’s knowledge of the local area, our tour would not have been as fruitful. He entertained us with so much local knowledge and lores about the mountains and on top of that, he brought us to places where we could experience the best local cuisines. His experience and extensive knowledge of the local area, his pleasant personality and his knowledge of photography made the entire tour worth while. If you are a photographer or a team of photographers looking to capture and learn more about Zhangjiajie, definitely go with Eric’s tour. He was communicative with us before during and after the tour, and guided us in make all the right bookings for this trip. We did not have to worry much about anything at all since he put together everything nicely, and all we needed to focus on was getting the perfect shots.
