I cannot recommend this tour enough! Our guide was Lily and she was amazing. She had amazing English and was so knowledgable about the locations we traveled to. She was very easy to work with and helped us make accommodations to fit the needs of our group (mopeds instead of biking) and helped us customize our itinerary to our liking. Do not hesitate, just book!

Great guide (Sarah), very welcome a friendly. Great boat trip. The lunch on the boat wasn't great. The bycicle/scotter route after is definitely a must-do while in Guillin, one of our best trips in China and a great insight into the rural china.
Recommend - great guide and overall tour

Well organised, good English speaking guide (frank) with lots of knowledge to share, helpful and funny. The private guide allowed us to tweak the itenary (skip cycling, visit some old villages by car and extend the tour so we could join the show)
Very nice
