We had a great guide, Johanna. You will be told that half a day is enough for Pingyao Ancient city, but not if you are a history buff. A good walking around to the city walls and back in to the Confucius temple and then the bank and escort companies there is a lot to learn.
We had Joannha as our guide. She is usually contracted by the different vendors on TripAdvisor. We highly recommend her, very personable, very knowledgeable, very good English
