Sally and Bruce from Klook did an excellent job arranging our customized tour. The hotels we stayed at we very conveniently located and quite nice. Mr. Jiang who was our tour guide did an amazing job driving us around and explaining the history and culture of Guilin and Yangshuo. I would thoroughly recommend him as he was the best tour guide we had on our entire trip.

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!

Despite it being the peak of Golden Week congestion, we were able to communicate via WeChat from discussing the meeting point the day before to the bus pickup for our return, making our cruise very comfortable. The onboard meals were also plentiful and satisfying. However, in China, all minor communications are done through WeChat, so it might be quite inconvenient if you don't register for WeChat in advance.

What to know before visiting Guilin

Guilin at a glance

Guilin is a scenic destination known for river cruises, guided tours and live events, with strong booking interest in sightseeing and outdoor categories. Demand on Klook peaks in February and October, while quieter months in late summer see much lower booking activity.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows the busiest months are February and October, and the quietest month is August. Prices generally follow a seasonal pattern: they dip to their lowest in August and rise to a peak around February. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in August when both demand and prices are typically much lower; for the full peak-season atmosphere, plan for February or October when demand and prices are higher.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia book roughly two weeks in advance on average, with many still able to secure last-minute plans about four days out. If you’re travelling in the peak months named above, it helps to plan and reserve popular river cruises and guided tours a few weeks ahead; for quieter months you can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare available tours, cruises and events and lock in experiences that match your travel style.
