We very much enjoyed two nights, three days customized tour in Guiling and Yangshou. The places and timing were up to our need and expectations. I highly recommend this tour as we had a great experience from the planning, to meeting and greetings, accommodation quality and cruise comfort. The driver was professional and timely. the best highlight of our trip is having our amazing tour guide Louna! She is very friendly, and explained a lot about the places, the culture and history in very good English language 😊 She helped a lot in recommending great restaurants both in Guilin, Yangshou and the Huanglo village. she was always taking care of us, providing drinking water, bathroom breaks, and rain coats as neede and she was always waiting for us. In addition to the amazing 4 hours Li River cruise, we enjoyed the Elephant trunk hill, the reed flute cave, the silver cave, the moon hill view, the long hair show, the Impression Sanjie Lui show, the Longji rice terrace and many more!!

The Longji Rice Terraces are a stunning earth sculpture. Under the sun, they look like a mountain of mirrors; in the mist, they resemble a fairyland. The lines are like verses flowing for thousands of years. They are truly beautiful.

We ordered online as we do not have much time. Tour agent will contact 1 day before cruise date, best to have wechat. Be aware that not all hotels will be available for direct pick up, I had to walk around 5 minutes to pick up point. A bus will take you to the pier. Tour guide was helpful. Boat journey comfortable with lunch and snacks + tea provided. The entire tour is in Chinese language. Good to experience this cruise at least once.

I recently booked a Guilin Li River , and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip to China! From the moment I boarded the boat, I was blown away by the breathtaking scenery—limestone karsts rising steeply from the misty, emerald-green water, with fishermen casting nets on bamboo rafts drifting by. It felt like sailing straight into a traditional Chinese painting

We booked the english speaking tour and our driver Mok was amazing! We had a great day and enjoyed all the activities, especially the bamboo rafting (we did get wet though so bring a spare pair of pants!). Mok told us about the local culture and history, he took great care of us and is also a great driver. Thank you for an amazing day trip!

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.

Seamless transfer to cruise from hotel by bus provided by the operator. The cruise was steady and comfortable with good commentaries. It also slowed down at places mentioned in the commentary for photo taking. The buffet had very nice food like fried Guilin mifen, beef stew etc. Overall it was a pleasant and comfortable experience.

We had an unforgettable one-day tour from Guilin to Yangshuo and back, visiting Xianggong Mountain, the Lijiang River, and the Yulong River. Tour Guide Kevin was outstanding throughout the trip. He is attentive to every detail, speaks fluent English, and made sure we felt comfortable and well-informed at all times. His deep knowledge of the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems added so much richness to the experience. He knew all the best spots for photos and quiet moments away from the crowds, which made the journey feel special and personalized. Driver Mr. Zhou was professional and reliable, ensuring a smooth and safe ride from Guilin to Yangshuo and back. His driving allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the scenery without any worries. Overall, this tour was seamless, enriching, and memorable. Kevin and Mr. Zhou made the experience truly enjoyable, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Guilin and Yangshuo.
