A great day on the River Li
Our guide in Guilin was Janet. Good English, knowledgeable and gave us lots of information of the local culture and food. The trip down the River Li was spectacular. Had a good massage on the way home and a visit to an old town still with it's old houses. Thank you Janet .

Easy to book and excellent local experience
Ellen was an incredible tour guide and the driver was great also! Booking this was super easy and the pick up and drop off at all the locations was very smooth. Ellen was very informative about everything and enriched my experience. She took me to places where there were not many tourists to get a local feel. She even gave me recommendations for the rest of my time in Guilin. I would 100% recommend Ellen and this tour.

Thrilling yet relaxing tour!
This was an overall favorite tour in China for me snd my daughter. The scenery was gorgeous and everything was taken at a nice pace, which makes a big difference. Our tour guide Chase was excellent company, giving explanations, answering questions, but also letting us just have some space to take it all in. The lunch provided was at a local farmers house and was delicious. Everything about this tour was fantastic. I’d do it again! Chase paid excellent attention to our interests and then made special efforts to help us with them, such as taking us to a high quality but affordable pearl shop at the end of the day. We loved shopping here and were taught how to distinguish real pearls from fakes.

Fantastic, 100% worth the price, would book it again and again 😍
Fantastic adventure trip. Highly recommended. My tour guide was very well-read and super friendly. A people-oriented experience. Culturally, there was a lovely show in the Longhair Village that explained the tradition.

A wonderful experience in Guilin with Kim
We had a wonderful experience exploring Guilin with our guide Kim. He was absolutely fantastic: kind, knowledgeable, attentive and always ready to help with a genuine smile.Kim did much more than simply show us the sights. She gave us interesting insights into the local history, culture and traditions, which made our experience much richer and more meaningful. She was also extremely thoughtful and took great care of our family throughout the day, always making sure that everything was comfortable and enjoyable for us.Thanks to Kim, we were able to discover Guilin not just as tourists, but with a much better understanding of the place and its people.We are very grateful for her kindness and professionalism and will certainly remember our time in Guilin with great affection. We highly recommend Kim to anyone visiting Guilin — he is an excellent guide and a wonderful person!

A visit to culture and landscape
We had a great time visiting these beautiful landscapes. The pick-up was on time, the group was small, 6 people. The car was pristine. And our guide, Jay, not only was he knowledgeable, but also he seemed very enthusiastic about nature and the area. He answered all our questions. The restaurant we had lunch was very nice, had a wonderful view, and the food was great. We had bamboo rice and pork filled mushrooms. We recommend this company and this tour to anyone who visit Guilin

Magnificent scenery combined with a delicious lunch at a farmer family
We loved the whole trip with our great German speaking guide Julia. Just the three off us wandering through the fields and enjoying the magnificent scenery. Another highlight was the lunch prepared for us by a local farmer family, very friendly people and delicious food prepared from fresh ingredients. Overall, a great day out.

Beautiful terrace rice farming
During harvesting and photos taken from cable car. We wish we could help up with the farmers but it was raining. During harvest now, it resemble gold field. I would expect the growing will be all green which is a different beauty altogether.

Guilin Li River Cruise Review
Absolutely unforgettable. Our guide Samantha turned a simple boat trip into pure magic. Her knowledge of the karst mountains was staggering — every legend, every rock formation, she brought it all to life with such infectious passion that the whole boat was hanging on her words. She had this rare gift of making you feel like you were the only guest that mattered, patiently answering every question with warmth and genuine enthusiasm.Samantha’s English was flawless, her timing impeccable, and her energy never dipped once during the entire cruise. She knew exactly when to let the scenery speak for itself and when to add that perfect little story that made it unforgettable. Honestly, she didn’t just guide the tour — she elevated it.If you’re cruising the Li River, pray you get Samantha. Five stars isn’t enough.
