Lily was an absolutely amazing tour guide! She was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the history of all the places we toured. She was very well paced but we never felt rushed at all. I recommend 100%!! Our driver was Mr. Gou and he was very safe and got us everywhere we needed to be in a timely manner.

My experience with Lily Yan Tour was amazing !!! She is very affluent in English. Her knowledge of the above places were well verse. She explained every details and when we asked her questions, she is quick to answer , and satisfied our curiosities!!
She very accommodating to our physic , as some day we walked to fast and got tired , she will suggest us to walk slow and just relax and enjoy the sceneries and continue walking after that. That’s very nice as the crowd and sight are tedious and intimating.
Lily is very hardworking, she has put us first in serving and satisfying our needs before her private life, like for most instance our tour ends pretty late , she will make sure we get to our hotel safe and goes her way home. There is no rush along for her.
I would recommend friends and visitors to her tours, toursbylilyyan@163
