Highly recommended. You get incredible views from up high. The price you pay on Klook is the same as at the box office, so it is well worth booking in advance.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Great 4.0
quite a small cave as compared to those in Australia or Thailand . But quite impressive as they have included special lighting to show you how the figures are imagine to be. They also provided audio guides in English and Chinese and possibly other language. The only thing I hated is the ending part where you have to walk through all the souvenir shops round and round. (thus minus 1 star) Overall experience is okay if you have nothing else to do in Yangshuo or in have never been to a limestone cave.

What to know before visiting Guilin

Guilin at a glance

Guilin is a scenic destination where tours, river cruises and live events dominate Klook bookings, with significant seasonal swings in demand. Demand peaks in April and falls to its lowest in August, so the city’s visitor rhythm ranges from busy spring highs to much quieter late-summer months.

When to visit Guilin for prices and crowds

Klook booking data shows April is the busiest month, while August sees the lowest demand. Prices move independently at times: September is typically the priciest month for activities, whereas October is usually the cheapest according to Klook data. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in October or August; for the classic peak-season atmosphere and busiest activity options, aim for April.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers book around two weeks before their Guilin trip, with many still able to secure last-minute options about four days out, so you can be flexible when planning. If you travel during April’s peak, try to finalise bookings earlier (around the typical two-week window) to lock in preferred tours and river cruises on Klook.
