Great cultural experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Nice tour and great guide. Would say it is a must see if visiting Xiamen. Very helpful operator as we had to reschedule on short notice (~6h before the tour start) due to medical reasons.

Tulou day tour with Viator

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Lily was very helpful in explaining the Tulou settlement and culture of the people. She brought us to a very nice place for a wonderful Hakka lunch. It was one of our best meals during our Xiamen holiday. Many thanks to our guide Lily

Tulou in Fujian

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a good time visiting the Tulou and can recommend this tour. Our tour guide Lily is very knowledgeable and was able to provide alot of information on the city. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the tour. We travelled in a 7 seater car so the journey was comfortable for my elderly parents

Exceptional, expert and interesting tour of Tianluokeng Tulou

Published on Jan, 2024

The most memorable parts of our outstanding tour with Cathy of the Tianluokeng Tulou include: (1) Cathy’s well-informed expertise in Tulou/Xiamen history, (2) her enthusiastic and detailed insights into the area, culture and history, (3) her attention to detail and thoroughness. Through this tour we were able to have a memorably interesting and informative tour of the Tulou and lunch in Taxia. We could not have gotten this unique taste of the region without Cathy. Thank you to Cathy for her expertise and warm welcome!!
