Thank you to our amazing guide Frank!
We travelled around China for 10 days as a family of 12 and our last stop was Guilin. Frank, our guide, had been superb even before we arrived Guilin. He was very responsive on messages and gave us amazing suggestions on how to best spend the short time we have in Guilin. He even helped us pre-book our New Year’s Eve dinner at the beautiful Sugar House. When we finally arrived Guilin after a long train ride, Frank welcomed us with a huge smile and took us to dinner then the impressive “Impression of Liu San Jie” night show by the lake. Frank was super accommodating and flexible with our huge group, brought us to the most beautiful cafe when we needed a toilet break, to a farm for a wholesome lunch, and took us on a short bike ride even when we had limited time. He even worked over time together with the driver to accompany us back to the hotel after new year’s countdown. Our family truly enjoyed our short time in Guilin thanks to Frank! more
