Luoyang Day Tour — A Must-do! - 5 stars without a doubt! My tour to the Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple was fantastic. Spring was excellent: friendly, informative, and a true expert. I really felt like his tour guide experience came in handy — we were able to get fantastic seats for the martial arts show due to his connections and he even offered to help me arrange my travel plans for the rest of my stay here. In addition, his car was clean and comfortable, and he brought snacks and water for me. I was amazed by the ancient sculptures at Longmen and the impressive Kung Fu at Shaolin. It’s incredible to me that people can even move like that! Spring provided a wonderful and highly enjoyable service. I really think Luoyang was a treat, and this was definitely a highlight of my time here. If you’re in China and are interested in history, buddhism, kung fu, or just seeing beautiful scenery, definitely take this tour!!!!

Excellent planning and arrangement - I had planned a 24 night trip to China to visit Beijing, Datong, Pingyao, Xi’an, Luoyang, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, Funghuang Gucheng & Shanghai.
And in Luoyang, we had a long list of places we wanted to visit in just two days.
I signed up "Spring" to be our guide for Luoyang.
The transport arranged by Spring was excellent. We started early on both days at 0800 hours. The transport was at the hotel before time on both days.
We visited:
Longmen Grottoes
Guanlin Temple (General Guan's Tomb)
Luoyang Old Town (Laocheng)
Luoyang Ruins of Sui and Tang Dynasty, Mingtang and Tiantang (moved it to the end of the day)
Museum of Chariot and Horse Pits of Eastern Zhou Dynasty
White Horse Temple
Luoyang Museum
Shaolin Temple
Song Mountain (added by Spring)
What I value most is that while completing our plan, Spring moved the visit to the Ruins of Sui and Tang Dynasty to the end of the day and we were able to view the spectacular lighting of which we had no idea. Also, he added the Song Mountain which was not on our list and was easily doable due to the proximity to Shaolin Temple.
We are thankful to Spring for giving us excellent services during our stay in Luoyang.

Amazing guide with Louyang Private day tour - Took a day trip to Louyang from Xi’an. 2 of us do not like to go with big group tours so we opt this private tour with Spring. The tour was very very organise from pickup to depart at high speed train station. Spring knew I like history and culture and arranged a senior lady guide (Ms Wang) who is so amazing and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour very much and learnt a lot from her . Would like to visit Louyang again for more cultural trips. Highly recommended to take up this private day trip with Spring.

Excellent guide ,kind , insightful, and knowledgeable - We had an excellent trip to Shaolin Monestary and Longmen Grottos. Spring is a very knowledgeable and experienced local guide, and a very kind and attentive person. He answered our pre-trip questions promptly, picked us up on time. He adapted our itinerary to fit our schedule, and ensured we were on time for our train at the end of the tour. His English is good. Above all his explanations were insightful and interesting (unlike many other guide that just quote dozens of statistics). 5 stars well earned! Highly recommended

Very good option when visiting Luoyang - Had a great tour organized in detail by Spring. He had all the details under control and suggested also activities in order to use the time very efficiently. Shaolin temple is really wonderful and my recommendation is, having time, to spend one night in the area to enjoy the scenery.
