Great guide! Ann was very helpful and we loved the place!!!! The hotel was really nice! We enjoyed the mountains, it was really nice that we had our own driver and they had water bottles for all the days that we were with them, and you could leave your stuff in the van if you didn't want to carry it in between places. It was also really nice to have a private tour, she could take pics of all of us, she told us about the history of the places that went to and overall I totally recommend it!David C

Has booked tour package with China Highlight for 4 days tour. Got to customized my tour and payment was easy (Wired to their account and paid the balance upon arrival). In the airport was met by my English speaking guide, Monica. Monica speaks fluent English and has good knowledge of the places I visited. Even the entrance tickets were purchased in advance and wasted little time on queueing. The places I visited were as follow, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Yuanjiajie (include the Hallelujah Mountains), Mt.Tianzishan, Bailong Sightseeing Elevator, (Day 1) Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with Glass Bridge, Baofeng Lake, (Day 2) Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway, Tianmenshan Cable car, Yellow Dragon Cavern (Day 3). The scenery was amazing and stunning. Its truly an unforgettable experience and the planning and execution on every detail of my tour had met my expectation.Scenic582514

We were staying near the other entrance to the park so we were picked up by Linda, our guide and her driver. We drove back to Tianmen Mountain cableway Station and began our journey up the mountain. Our day was cloudy with a little drizzle throughout the day. That may have been a blessing as we walked on the glass walk way around the mountainside and were unable to see below us (for those of us with a fear of heights). But the park was beautiful and the sights spectacular even on such a day. Our main reason for coming was to see Heaven's Gate and walk the 999 steps made famous to us by the Land Rover commercial of the car going up the mountain steps.We arrived at the opening at the top and took the escalators down to the bottom and began our trek up. 45 minutes later we looked down the 999 steps and celebrated our accomplishment. 15 minutes later we were at the bottom taking in the awe inspiring view. Then it was a wild ride down the mountain on the shuttle bus back to the cable cars. Linda was very helpful and informative throughout the day and even gave us ideas for our next day near where we were staying. We sent her pictures and a thank you for all her help . Although we did not get to the glass bridge, everything else was spectacular. And on a sunny day, the view would be unmatched!TheSiepmanns

My husband and I and our two daughters (ages 16 and 17) spent three days in Zhangjiajie exploring the stunning scenery in this area. Our guide, Melody, was fantastic and took us to many places to enjoy the views. Our favorites by far were the glass bridge and the cable car trip up Tianmen Mountain with the glass walkways. Heaven's Gate is a stunning natural formation. Melody was very accommodating to our specific needs and interests. She is very friendly and offered not just an informative tour of the natural landscape but gave us some perspective on present day life in China. Highly recommend China Highlights and visiting Zhangjiajie with Melody as a guide!!mattbeaker

I did a two day private tour of Zhangjiaje. We had an excellent trip Tutu was our tour guide. She picked us up the day before at the airport and took us to our hotel. Both days were excellent, Tutu was full of knowledge of the area and very friendly. She really wanted us to have a great time. The only down side we had was the second day was too cloudy to see a lot, but that was nothing anyone could control. The scenery was beautiful at both locations. I would definitely tour with China Highlights and Tutu again. I think 4 days at this location would be better, there was more things to see and I think having an extra day or two for bad weather or cloudy days would be nice. There is a lot of walking around but nothing overly strenuous. Day One Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Yuanjiajie(include the Hallelujah Mountains), Mt.Tianzishan, Bailong Sightseeing Elevator, Lunch on Mountain. Day Two Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Mountain Glass Walkway, Tianmenshan Cable car, Transfer to Airport or Train Station for Departure, Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, Hei Zhu Gou Restaurant (Lunch), Hotel to airport Transfer (Zhangjiajie)
