We had a great day with Jerry escorting us. He arrived when he said he would, obtained the tickets on our behalf and told us exactly what to expect, which made the whole experience far more relaxing. He was there to meet us at the other end of the river trip to take us up the mountain before bringing us back. As an added bonus he told us lots of interesting facts along the way - all in all a really good guy. Thanks again Jerry.

Li River & Yangshuo

Li River Cruise was a great experience with Jerry our guide. The scenery was amazing and Jerry arranged our tickets and met us after the cruise to take us around Yangshuo town. He also took us to a side trip to the cave and it was also amazing. Thanks to Jerry for recommending it. We enjoyed this tour very much.

A must with 4 star boat cruise

Book a 4 star and above. There are boats that have brown leather seats with a tad better service. It’s a 3.5 hour trip which is sufficient from Guilin boat departure location to Yangshou destination. Buy a seat on the 2nd floor on the left side of the boat for a 930 am departure. Food is just so so. Be prepared for a long walk and a crowded town at disembarking location at yangshou town.

Thank you for your feedback.

Jerry in Guilin

We met Jerry in Guilin. He spoke fluent English and even a few words Dutch. We got to know that he is a guide. He fixed a nice hotel for us in Yuangshuo at a discount price, and arranged for tickets for a show there. We kept contact via WA during a couple of days as he wanted to make sure everything was going as planned. He's a friendly and thrustworthy man. I gladly would have spent time with him. Thank you for your help, Jerry! Wishing you all the best and success in your work. Greetings, Jan en Lut

To the Yangshuo River Cruise & Back via Xianggong Shan Sightseeing Platform

Jerry did a tremendous job. He was punctual at arriving at our hotel, his car was clean and his driving was really good. At the 4 star cruise terminal he took care of procuring our tickets and he got us excellent seats on the boat. The cruise was wonderful. At Yangshuo wharf Jerry was waiting and he suggested we take an electric scooter ride which was fantastic. On the way back we stopped at the viewing platform where Jerry took took amazing photos before driving us back, delivering us at our hotel on schedule at 6pm. On top of this Jerry was quick and clear with his communication in english. Would highly recommend!

You should book!

Booking this tour with Jerry was such a good choice!! Before I even arrived in Guilin, Jerry was helping me organise boat tickets and answering all of my questions. On the day he was so friendly and knew everything, he took me to the river cuise, picked me up, we walked down the street market and even changed the plan so that I could go on a scooter! This honestly was the highlight of my entire trip to China, I had such an amazing time and i'd 100% book this again with Jerry, Thank you! :)

Great experience with Jerry

Communication and pick up were great. Jerry speaks very good English and clear Mandarin. He gave information about the boat and the journey and then headed off to Yangshuo as you went into the boat terminal. When we pulled up in Yangshuo, he was there already waiting. We had a walk through the town before heading off to Xianggong hill for the spectacular views and returning to Guilin. Jerry took the stress out of it, buying tickets, being there waiting in Yangshuo and also knowing where to stop off for a quick bite to eat. He also gave good information and could advise on what else to see and do in Guilin. All round a great experience.
