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.
Professionally run tour

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!!

5.00My husband and I booked a private tour in beautiful Guilin and Yangshuo based on Jerry’s excellent Tripadvisor reviews — and it was immediately clear why his clients speak so highly of him. Jerry is friendly, professional, polite and knowledgeable. He adapted the itinerary at the last minute to accommodate our requests, even on short notice, making our visit to this stunning part of China truly memorable. When I asked for a recommendation for a guide in Chengdu, he immediately connected me with an excellent one. The next day, he even sent me a message to check that we had caught our train and enjoyed our Chengdu tour — a gesture that felt more like a caring family member than a tour guide. There were no shopping stops at all, and his restaurant recommendation was fantastic. I cannot praise him enough and have already started recommending him to family and friends who are planning to visit China. Thank you, Jerry — I truly felt well looked after.
Great guide

5.00A group of four friends engaged Jerry to take us around Guilin and Yangshuo for five days, including a day on the Li River. He suggested places to see and listened to what we were interested in. He accommodated our physical limitations and adjusted destinations on the spot when we asked. One of us wanted to find a place to buy a tea pot. He found just the right store on our return trip to Guilin from Yangshuo. During the Longji Rice terrace tour he found a minority village home stay for a chicken hot pot lunch around a charcoal bamboo fire. His services are top notch and very affordable. He took care of everything for us and our trip would not have been so enjoyable without him.
Great guide in Guilin
