We were very lucky to have a Chinese friend with us to interpret, but this lady can also supply an English speaking guide. She was fabulous to us and we found her to be fair, trustworthy, prompt and helpful. You negotiate a daily rate with her which saves money.
If you need the guide (Holly), you will only be able to fit a maximum of 3 passengers in the car.
Her name is Li Yue Ai, but she told us to call her "Zafu" which means a kind of guide. If you can speak Chinese, (not sure of dialect) her number is 13991 828 685.
