Our guild David picked us up in the train station. David and one driver come with a mini van to drive us around. I think it is very convenient to have a car with you, especially in China. There are so many people there. Also in Huangshan area, it is far from the city. The public transportation is not that easy. David are very patient with us and very flexible with our rout. David did an amazing job tour us around, checking out popular places. I was blown away by his knowledge of Yellow mountain and other history with regards to the sites that we visited. He was funny, friendly, and very personable. We stayed in the hotel in the city the first night. The second day we went up to the mountain. It was raining at that day. David stopped at a local shop for us to buy rain coat and shoe covers. The shoe covers was very helpful. Highly recommended if it is a raining day for your. David accompanied with us all the way up to the Huangshan. My son wanted to go up some place and my wife just wanted to stay, so he accompanied with my son to some higher point. Thanks David for that. The next day we come down. We took the cable car up and down. It saved a lot of time and energy so you can walk around on the top of the mountain. David also took us to the local village (Old Street) for waling around. He just walked with us and introduced local specials. He did not push or ask us to buy anything. I though that was very special since I heard a lot about the tourist guy asking people to buy things. We had one of the most memorable and enjoyable vacations that we've ever had. We owe this pleasure to China Private Tour, to our guide David and to the great driver.

Hello,

I am planning to to visit Yellow Mountain in September. I will be traveling from Shanghai, how long does it take to get there by bus. How long in advance i should book the tickets? Is there any website so I can do it online? Also how long is the bus, I found various times and I am a little confused.
From Huangshan I will be going to Hangzhou. And which way is better travelling from Shanghai to Huangshan, by train or by bus?

I do not plan on doing the hike, just visiting villages. I have about 4 days. Should I stay in Tunxi and travel from there for a day trip? My plan so far is to see Xidi and Hongcun. Any other recommendations?

Thank you!

China Private Tour provided everything I could possibly want with a private, customized tour of Huangshan. We contacted CPT following friends recommendation, they got back to us quickly with a full detailed plan with photos of what we should expect (in real life all looked much better than the photos). We were treated like royalty at each stop. We spent 2.5 days with our guide David. We are a family with three girls ages 11, 14, 16 from US, we loved every minute and every selection David did. We spent the first half day in Hongcun village which was very picturesque and then went on to a day and a half in the Yellow mountains. David arranged the top hotel on the mountain (need to book in advance), made sure we see as much as we can, woke up at 4:30am to direct us to try and see the sunrise, made sure that during the day we see as much as possible and when we had time for lunch choose tasty fun places. He made our experience perfect, took best care of us and made sure all is in place, transportation, accommodation, gastronomy etc.. his explanations are clear, he is of an optimistic nature, enjoys what he is doing and understands his customers and cares for them. He is HIGHLY recommended in Huangshan.

Tony was the best tour guide we have ever had. We (family of five) really enjoyed the hiking at Mt. Huangshan and the tour of Hongcun Ancient Village where "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed. We highly recommend Tony for a tour guide.

My friend and I were guided by Tony in Huangshan for a whole day in the weekend. Tony was very friendly and patient and went the extra mile a few times to make our trip great so we can bring excellent memories back home. He showed us more than we could hope for, following our pace, managed to shoot amazing photos, respected our food taste, helped us negotiate with local merchands... what else to say ? If we had to do this again, we would with no hesitation and we really recomment Tony if you have to visit Huangshan. By the way, highly recommend stay one night on the summit if you have one day in Huangshan.

Thank you for working so closing with me to plan our tour. Four of us had a wonderful time in Yellow Mountain. Everything you scheduled for us went well and I would like to share our experience on your website. We were lucky enough to go on a tour with John. He was very prompt in meeting us at the designated times at our hotel and very knowledgeable in the history and government of the places we visited. He had very good English, and was the best English-speaker of our four tour guides in this china trip. John had a very good sense of humor and was easy to talk to. He gave us plenty of free time to do things on our own, which we liked and was very flexible with the day's touring schedule. He even gave us options at the beginning of each day for us to plan our own itinerary. Mount Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is no doubt one of the most beautiful mountains in China. However for us senior travelers, walking up and down the countless stone steps was quite challenging. It was a good arrangement for staying three days and two nights on the mountain, and the Huangshan Xihai Hotel was great. We then visited three remarkable ancient villages that are the best examples of ancient Huizhou-style architecture. The famous Oscar-winner film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were filmed there. The hotel Crown Plaza Huangshan Yucheng was great. The morning walk along the Xin"anjiang River by the hotel was so refreshing. We would very definitely recommend this company to any of our friends who might be planning a trip to China or Huangshan in the future.

My wife and I visited Huangshan in mid May. and it was an amazing experience! The guidance on traveling to and from Huangshan was very helpful. When we arrived our guide Tony took us to a wonderful restaurant a short drive from the train station where the people were very friendly and the food was excellent. Our driver was courteous and his vehicle was incredibly clean and comfortable. Tony helped us arrange to store our large bags at a hotel at the bottom of the mountain and even made sure we sat on the right side of the bus to enjoy the views driving up to the cable car. The hike to the top was beautiful and Tony made sure to point out various landmarks in the mountains along the way. We took the cable down on the same day. A day tour is not enought for Yellow Mountain, if you have more time, spent one night on the summit of the Mountain. Thank you, Huangshan Private Tour, for a wonderful visit to Yellow Mountain that we will never forget.

We had an amazing experience with our guide Tony. The mountain range is spectacular, and the views and crowds in late spring (End of May) were perfect. The pictures do not do the beauty of the place justice. Tony took us to a restaurant in Huangshan after our Yellow Mountain tour that my wife and I agreed had the best food of our trip. Tony went above and beyond, staying with us until our late evening flight, speeding us through the airport and security, and even sending pictures that he had taken of us after the trip. Tony was great, and so was the tour. There were no "detours" to sites were you get harrassed to buy things like on some tours. We were deeply touched by the prompt and passionate work of our guide, driver as well as other staff who made their efforts to serve us in this tour. 5 stars marks for Huangshan Private Tour!
