What To Expect
Guilin
Your driver-guide will pick you up at 9:00 am or at a time of your choice from the lobby of your hotel, Guilin Railway Station, Guilin Airport, Guilin city center, or any other designated location.
Xingping Town
Yangdi Village, located in the southern part of Guilin, is home to approximately 3,000 residents. The most stunning and unique karst peaks can be found along the Li River between Yangdi and Xingping Village. In fact, most photos featured in guidebooks or online are taken along this stretch of the river. We will take a Eectric boat from Yangdi to Nine Horse Hill, a scenic cruise lasting about 1 hour. These smaller boats offer a more authentic experience, allowing you to get closer to the natural beauty of the area. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of towering peaks in various shapes, crystal-clear waters, lush green hills, bamboo groves, and more. Note: Each boat accommodates four passengers, and you will share the cruise with other tourists.

5.00We were able to customize our tours based on our preferences and took two different tours with Sundy and it was well worth it! We would have been lost and would not have seen as much as we had if it wasn't for Sundy. Most importantly, he got us to our destinations safely in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

5.00Leo is an amazing guide and he does everything: replies to questions very quickly on the Viator app, drives, guides, and ensures we have the best experience. He also speaks very well English and we had great conversations. Leo knew exactly where to go to allow me to have the best experience without the crowds. We did Li River in the morning. I was on a 4-people raft. I didn’t see much other boats at all because we arrived after the crowds. So I got the chance to experience the river in a very peaceful way. Leo picked me up on the other side in Xingping. Since he knew I like to stay out of the crowds he took me to a lovely restaurant in a small village nearby for lunch. It was wonderful and very peaceful. Then I could see the river from the top of the Xianggong hill (impressive) and finally did the Yulong river. Leo found another woman to ride with me on the 2-people raft and picked me up at the end of the tour. Beautiful scenery. There were a few other rafts but they are all small rafts so it doesn’t matter and it’s actually pretty fun to watch all the rafts navigating down the river with you. I was worried it would be too crowded to enjoy but everything was perfect end to end and I thoroughly enjoyed both Li river and Yulong river. They both have their own charm and thanks to Leo I was able to enjoy them both in the best conditions. He also showed me other beautiful places before driving me to the airport. Leo is an exceptional guide, I cannot recommend him enough!
Perfekt day!

5.00The tour with Leo was great! Leo was a nice, polite and well informed tour guide. Without him we would definitely not have experienced this tour on our own. Our language skills were far too bad for that. Leo organized all the necessary tickets in a flash, so we didn't spend any time in queues. Leo picked us up from the hotel on time and brought us back safely in the evening. We can totally recommend this tour!
Leo, … A guide you can trust!!!

5.00Leo was a very nice guide and in a short notice he took me. He also helped me to get some cable for my apple phone, took me to a bank that accepted debit card for cash (very difficult to find one in China). Did a wonderful tour in the river, mountain, went to a restaurant that sold local typical great food. No doubt recommending Leo… also a very nice person and had a nice car like a Toyota Corolla
