If you are looking for a guide in West Hunan and Zhangjiajie, I would highly recommend Jeffrey Tang Ming.Me and my partner had a one week tour with him. I had one of the most authentic trips in my life. Jeffrey understood from the start that i would like to visit more off the beaten track villages away from many tourists and although I visited China the most touristic period (the first week of October) we hardly saw any tourists most of the days. We visited unique villages, and even in Zhangjiajie we visited less known places.. I am an amateur photographer and so is Jeffrey, and he knew to take me to great spots for photography, but also help us with food and with booking trains and communicate with taxi drivers :) Jeffrey is a great person and he would go the extra mile to help you with everything.

About 2 weeks ago, my parents and I visited Zhangjiajie for 3 days with our tour guide, Jeffrey. We found Jeffrey to be reliable, punctual and honest. He replied many of our queries promptly via email for our trip and his price is reasonable. He even brought us to the non-touristy locations so that we could enjoy the best scenery in addition to the main attractions. At times, he even managed to shorten our queuing time. We were also pleasantly pleased to know that he took great candid photos for us. We would recommend Jeffrey for a good time in Zhangjiajie!

I reached out one day before my desired tour date to Jeffrey via WeChat and he responded quickly with a suggestion for a tour. We met the next morning at the hotel lobby and he took us around the Zhangjiajie National Park. It was definitely worth having Jeffrey as our guide as he saved us a lot of time by taking us directly to where we need to go (and sometimes found ways to skip long lines)! Even better, he took us to less crowded places as he saw we didn’t enjoy the big crowds (thank you!). His English is very good and he is gentle and non-intrusive (ie doesn’t talk too much or get into the way of our day, but is available to answer questions and show us around). Would recommend him for sure!

At the end of the day he gave us tips and suggestions for where we wanted to go the next day, and even reached out via WeChat to see how we were doing :) Read less

My wife and I decided to hire an English-speaking tour guide for our trip to Zhangjiajie and decided to use Jeffrey Tang based on the solid reviews he had. Jeffrey did a great job in making all the necessary arrangements for us including providing a driver for us, booking hotels, and buying all the tickets we would need for entering the parks, riding cable cars, buses, escalators, etc. and for seeing the wonderful show tickets.in Zhangjjiajie. Our driver was terrific. She met us at the airport and stayed with us the whole time we were in the ZJJ area, drove us to Fenghuang and back and drove us to the bus station for our ride back to Changsha where we were met by a different driver. Jeffrey was not able to be our tour guide because of other obligations but provided us with another tour guide named Jay. Jay was young, very friendly, spoke great English and was an outstanding guide. We are very happy that we chose Jeffrey as our guide and can recommend him without hesitation. His fes were very reasonable and well worth what we paid. Read less
