Guilin Day trips

Mr Ye was very friendly and welcoming throughout our trip. He introduced us to a variety of delicious local cuisines and recommended a local restaurant where we had some incredibly delicious fish. He also kindly helped us buy some local mangoes, which were so sweet and tasty! We truly enjoyed our day trip to Yangshuo, and his hospitality made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend Mr Ye to anyone looking for a wonderful local experience! 叶先生在整个行程中都非常友善热情。他向我们介绍了各种美味的当地特色美食，还推荐了一家当地餐馆，那里的鱼特别鲜美可口。他还热心地帮我们买了当地的芒果，真的又香又甜！我们非常享受这次阳朔一日游，而他的热情款待也让这次旅程更加难忘。非常推荐叶先生给想要体验当地风土人情的朋友们！

I absolutely loved this tour! The Li River and the incredible karst mountains around Guilin are breathtakingly beautiful and truly something everyone should see at least once. A special thank you to our guide - she was amazing! I was the only foreign tourist in the group, and she was incredibly attentive throughout the entire trip. She regularly sent me all the important information separately via WeChat, which made everything very easy and comfortable for me. She also made sure I always knew where to go and never got lost. Another lovely touch was that during the trip she kept offering us different local snacks and interesting things to try. It made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. Everything was very well organized, the scenery was spectacular, and the guide made the experience even better. One of the highlights of my trip to Guilin. Highly recommended!

Well-planned one-day itinerary. Cable car saves energy with panoramic terrace views. Authentic local bamboo rice and farmhouse meals. A perfect mix of nature and ethnic culture!

The driver was very punctual and drove smoothly, sharing introductions along the way about Guilin's local characteristics, agricultural products, development history, and the history and background of the Yao and Zhuang ethnic groups. Once inside the scenic area, he also introduced the four terraced fields one by one. Out of the eight people in the van, six went to see the long-hair performance at Hongyao Village, and everyone enjoyed it immensely. Afterward, we had lunch at a restaurant in Hongyao Village. While the food was quite good, it was served very slowly, which cut into the time available for viewing the terraced fields. We recommend heading up to the terraced fields earlier to have lunch at one of the viewing platforms. The Jinkeng Rice Terraces are magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful. We had two hours, which included taking the cable car up to the viewing platform, enjoying the scenery, taking photos, and then taking the cable car back down. We didn't visit during peak season, yet the cable car line took 15 minutes, and the ride itself lasted about 20 minutes each way. This left us with only about 50 minutes at the viewing platform, which felt way too short. If time permits, an ideal approach is to take the cable car up to the viewing platform and then walk back down. This allows you to take in the panoramic view from above while also experiencing firsthand what it feels like to be right among the terraces. The only downside this time was that the vehicle was small and the seat cushions were uncomfortable. There were four tall people in our group who had nowhere to put their knees.

The tour guide was so helpful and kind. I was the only foreigner and didn't really understand Chinese but she used translator to explain about the tour schedule so that I didn't get confused throughout the tour. She kept checking me if I understood and talked nicely towards me, so I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the tour very much. This tour has become one of the most memorable experience in my life thanks to that sweet guide. Thank you so much and I highly recommend the tour!

Transportation: Originally, the meetup time was 7:30, and I thought trying to finish breakfast at the hotel starting at 7:00 would be way too rushed. However, Driver Ye changed the pickup time to 8:50, which made scheduling things so much easier. Moreover, Driver Ye arrived early, and I saw him right when I came downstairs. Itinerary: It wasn't too rushed and was very well-rounded, though we happened to choose the 4-in-1 option with too many steps. Since my companion has knee pain, it took us twice as long to complete. Tour Guide & Driver: Wearing two hats, he was polite, enthusiastic, and a professional guide who gave clear explanations. He was very knowledgeable about local attractions as well as his own personal experiences—truly a great guide. Value for Money: At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, but with an all-inclusive itinerary and long-distance transfers, the value is quite high and I definitely recommend it!

Great day trip by our experienced driver and helpful guide for our day trip to Longji Rice Terrace.

The driver insisted on arriving late to the event. We arrived almost at the time the event started. We weren't able to take photos or enjoy the attractions before the show because of the driver's delay.

Our guided tour was amazing! The driver was friendly, polite, and very professional. We really appreciated that he used a translator, which made communication much easier for us. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the area and many fascinating local facts. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. All the activities were great fun, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!
