Beautiful Scenery!

We had a lovely day trip on the scenic Li River. Our ride was smooth, the scenery iconic, and the food plentiful. We had a delightful and relaxing time. I highly recommend this tour.

Embark at Guilin for 4 hour down stream cruise

Of taking cruise boat, book a 4 star with brown leather seats. Nothing less than 4 star boat which has so so good and takes 4 hours from the nearest boat port to the Yangshou town disembark location called Dragon head mountain port. Be prepared to walk stairs and long corridor which can be very crowded and hot. Book seat on the 2nd floor on the left side such as seat 64. Rains start in April through June

Guilin Day Tour

Booked a 1-day tour with this company, Charles was recommended by a colleague, contacted him the day before and decided on a tour, communication was hassle-free. The tour guide, Mike provided excellent service and was even singing during the trip which I found pleasant despite not speaking & understanding the local language.

Excellent day trip with a fantastic guide!

We were perfectly picked up from our hotel and taken to the Li River for a beautiful cruise. After that, our guide Jack took us on a wonderful tour of several iconic spots in Guilin. The whole experience was truly extraordinary. Jack is an absolute star — he speaks perfect English, has a great sense of humor, is extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and made the day really enjoyable. He has all the qualities of an outstanding guide. Highly recommended! Thank you, Jack!

Fairytale landscapes and tranquility

We purchased the tour the day before at the hotel where we were staying in Guilin and included the Li River cruise to Yangshuo (self-guided city tour) and agreed return to Guilin by taxi, much cheaper and more flexible solution than the package purchased online. The ferry was simple but very cute and the scenery is fabulous and picturesque...some Anime enthusiasts might recognize the stylized landscapes where the characters of the Dragon Ball saga move (nothing strange because this character, Goku, is inspired by Monkey, the protagonist of the famous and epic Chinese novel "The Journey to the West" by Wu Cheng'En). The cruise flows slowly and pleasantly lulled by the chete waters of the Li River. He deserves absolutely!

On a clear, sunny day, this trip is stunning.

Obviously weather dependent. On a clear, sunny day, this trip is stunning. The views are fabulous. Spent the whole trip (excluding lunch !) standing up top taking in every second. All the boats are pretty similiar so don't worry too much about which one you choose. The boat guides tell you of all the importants points of interest.

Li River Cruise and Yangzhou countryside holiday

We only booked the trip one day before. Reply was swift. Driver Peter Yang waited for us in the hotel lobby. He saw my husband had trouble walking as he fell the day before. He immediately arranged a wheelchair. Looked after him the whole trip. Can’t ask for more care and efficiency. Highly recommended. Please thank Peter for everything.

Lovely day out.

We were collected from our hotel by Jacky who had excellent English and driven (about an hour) to the Li River siding. We quickly found our boat amongst the dozens lined up and proceeded on our four-hour cruise on a 3 star boat. There was no English at all - the life jackets were stowed under your seat. The boat was at capacity but very clean and the lunch box meal was good. The end of trip arrival area was a scramble and we had trouble finding where our meet destination was (Starbucks) as our Aussie phone nav failed us. A quick sms to Charles soon had us on the right road to meet our guide. Jacky took us home via a very pretty bridge then we opted to pay for the 35 (Chinese money) freeway back to Guilin which took an hour. We arrived back at the hotel about 4-5 pm.
