If you’re traveling to Luoyang, I highly recommend using the services of Spring. He created and led me through an unforgettable tour of this jewel of a city, including stops at the Shaolin Temple and the Longmen Grottoes. As an example of his consideration, he took care to bring me to the Grottoes in the evening, where the caretakers light up the various statues. He patiently answered my questions about China’s culture, customs and politics and showed curiosity about my life. There are many guides here, but I doubt many are based in Luoyang, as Spring is. He has expert local knowledge and dedication to create a custom itinerary for you. Read less

hi, i am max from italy! i booked spring and a colleague of him for four days. for my research i wanted to visit areas in zhengzhou that are going through urban transformations in and around the city. simply said a societal transformation from farm to city. certainly not the standard trip that is booked... prior to my arrival i was not sure what i was going to find and where exactly my guides will take me. eventually i got exactly what i wanted to see. we saw many new development areas and urban villages, many of them in phase of demolition. i guess some places and things were also new for my guides but since they were locals it was very easy for them to get around and get informations from the local people. i very vaguely pointed out my proposal for an itinerary based on the things i wanted to see. spring understood right away what my intention was so it was never hard to explain what i wanted. he is a very honest and friendly person with excellent english skills. also a very careful driver. i felt at easy all the time and enjoyed my time with him a lot! it was like driving around with a friend! same counts for his colleague! saluti, max Read less

I am just completing my visit to China and I just wanted to write a quick review for Spring. He was an outstanding guide. He was extremely helpful and responsive in the pre-planning stages when I was contacting him from NY. While touring with him in China, he was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and flexible. Also, as a woman traveling alone, I always felt safe and well taken care of by him. In fact, after my initial tour with him in China, I asked him to personally arrange tours for me in other cities during my 3 weeks stay in China. In short, great guide and I would highly recommend him! Read less
