Reviews
We absolutely have to praise our driver for this private car tour! Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, explaining every detail of all the attractions perfectly. Plus, the restaurants the driver recommended were truly fantastic—not only delicious with amazing views, but also excellent value for money. A special thank you to our driver for their exceptional ability to adapt on the fly! Because my mother is over seventy and couldn't ride the small bamboo raft, the driver immediately helped us flexibly adjust by choosing a suitable large boat, perfectly solving the problem. The driving was extremely smooth, comfortable throughout the entire journey, with no motion sickness at all. The entire trip experience was perfect, and if we have the chance to visit again, we will definitely choose your service without hesitation!
Our mum and us had a great experience with our gentleman guide, Colin. Communication in English was seamless. Especially enjoyed the Yulong river rafting.
Our five-star guide not only led the tour but also shared a great deal about the local customs and traditions of Guilin and Yangshuo.
A very happy and grateful day! Looking forward to participating again next time! The tour guide is friendly, professional and knowledgeable
As usual, the communications with the driver was always more than perfect. The driver arrived before the pick up time and we covered all the places 1 hour before the schedule ending time. Since we had some extra time, it would be great if we could visit a temple or two during the trip.
Tour was very informative and exclusive. Although the weather was not the best, the guide and driver were most helpful in arranging us to travel with ease and comfort. Guide Qin also made the effort to explain to us the history of Guilin and the ethnic group to us, helping us to understand the local culture and their practices. She was attentive to my elderly parents to make sure of their safety. I highly recommend this tour package for people who want to move around comfortably, especially with elderly or kids.
The tour guide, Chen, was very professional, detail-oriented, and caring. He showed us around and helped us better understand the culture and beautiful places of Guilin and Yangshuo.
