What a great scenery, highly recommended. Our guide Samantha did a great job guiding us all the way through the cruise and later the bike tour. My kids had a lot of fun with the scooters.

We had some wonderful days in Guilin. Even it was nonstop raining. Arthur was very helpful and could provide us a remarkeable expirience. He knew the perfect spots for photos too and expanded our imagination. Our driver Lee was friendly and always on time. Guilin is a very nice city with very friendly people. We would do it again. Money was worth it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Guilin's beauty and warm people shine through, rain or shine—and Arthur and Lee made sure every moment was well spent. Knowing you felt it was worth the money and would do it again means the world to us. We hope to see you back!

We had a lovely tour with Henry! He is very professional, knowledgable, flexible. Lots of fun activities, and all very smooth and enjoyable. We like the river cruise very much. Thank you Henry!

Booked a private 8 day tour with Travel China Guide that included this river tour. It was absolutely gorgeous. And as I suspected from traveling to China over 15 years ago, it is not easy to navigate traveling through China as an English speaking tourist. Having everything organized in a tour will save you a lot of time and effort. Well worth the extra cost!! Our tour guide Kathy was excellent and took care of everything for us and more!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful experience! Kathy will be overjoyed that you appreciated her excellent care. We are so glad the river tour was gorgeous and that the organised tour made your journey smooth and worthwhile. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Travel China Guide again.
A fascinating experience! Alice took care of us from the very first moment we arrived in Guilin until the last moment before we left for our next destination. Thanks to her, we learned so many interesting facts about the places we visited, the people, and their way of life. Thank you, Alice!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience! Alice truly loves making every guest feel cared for from start to finish, while sharing the heart of Guilin. She'll be overjoyed that you learned so much and had such a fascinating time. Thank you for your kind words!
A wonderful day. I was accompanied by the guide Lily Cao who introduced me to the places we visited, demonstrating very good knowledge ( and good photography skills 😃) I also want to mention the driver Mr Tang who made sure we were safe on the road
Thanks for your wonderful feedback! Lily truly loves sharing her knowledge and capturing great photos for her guests. And Mr. Tang will be so happy that you appreciated his safe driving. So glad you had a wonderful day with both of them!
Came here as part of a 10 day tour, this was a full day out and was excellent. Well organised at the departure point, boats are comfortable and in good condition and we had a great day with our tour guide Janet who was excellent and super knowledgeable
Thank you! Janet will be absolutely delighted to hear that she made your full day out excellent — with her knowledge and care. We're also glad you found the departure point well organised and the boats comfortable. Thanks for sharing your 10-day tour experience!
