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

5.00Jerry 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!

5.00Booking 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

5.00Communication 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.

5.00Jerry was great and a fantastic day overall. Four star boat was very nice (probably no need to do VIP seating but fine for CNY60), overall exactly what we were looking for
An awesome day in and around Guilin and Yangshuo

5.00Excellent!! We had a wonderful time. Jeff is great. We loved his commentary about Guilin and the surrounding areas. He made sure we had everything we needed and even took us to his favorite rice noodle place. Can we give him more than five stars? Highly recommended.

Private day trip on the river Li from Guilin

5.00We had a private driver who picked us up at the hotel and delivered us to the dock. The initial cost you see is only for the driver, you then have to pay for the boat which does include lunch. Our driver Jerri was very helpful and had a decent command of English. He escorted us into the building where we waited for the boat and made sure we understood what we had to do. The boat was much better than I thought. Everyone was seated six to a table in the cabin and there was a top deck from where you could watch the scenery and take photos. Just when you thought you had taken all the photos you could another view appeared. It is worth seeing.

5.00I booked the Li River Cruise and Xianggongshan lookout tour and had a great experience. The operator was very responsive on WhatsApp, and the driver was courteous, punctual, and spoke decent English. The itinerary was well-planned, giving me plenty of time to enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. At the end of the day, the driver even dropped me off at a restaurant for dinner and kindly walked me to the entrance. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommend!
Highly recommended!!
