Fantastic 5.0
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.

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!

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!

What to know before visiting Guilin

Quick Guilin snapshot and what draws visitors

Guilin is a scenic riverside city best known for boat cruises, day tours and cultural events—Tours, Cruises and Events & shows lead bookings on Klook. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, with strong peaks late in the year and quieter stretches in spring and midsummer.

Best months to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook booking data show demand peaks in November and is lowest in April. Prices generally drift low through July to October then spike in early next-year spring: Klook data indicate July is typically the cheapest month while March is typically the priciest. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in July to October; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and higher activity levels, November is the busiest month. Note that prices and demand don’t always move in lockstep—demand peaks in November while the largest price spikes appear in March on Klook’s historic pricing.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines typically book about two weeks ahead, with many locking in plans a month in advance and some last-minute options roughly four days out. If you plan to travel in November or in the early-year months that show high prices, aim to confirm tours and cruises earlier; for lower-demand months you can be more flexible and still find options on Klook.
