Guilin Photography Tour is a specialist photo tour service and a brand of Gatsby, which Andy & Mia founded to take photographers beyond Guilin. We comply with EU law and Chinese regulations, giving you the best of both worlds, a full European based protected and insured tour operator, with the service of a dedicated family business.

You can ensure all your in-country logistics to be booked with confidence and ease.  All your tour needs such as hotels, transfers, visa letters, private car and driver are arranged perfectly to cover the route we have designed for you. We hand-pick drivers, cars and work with only drivers we have directly trained, ensuring they deliver the kind of extended ground service to off the tourist track areas a photographer needs. 
You can also arrange your own hotels and visa, and hire us to guide and arrange transport without hotels. We have found the best drivers, reliable, flexible, those willing to work very long hours, essential for the trips we offer.
