“Loved it but would have preferred a Chinese/ English speaking guide to have information as we cruise. With the qr code it was a bit difficult to follow. Eventually is quite expensive for just a car ride to the pier and the cruise. With an English speaking crew that explain ms the scenery and the traditions of the areas we see it could have been more value for money.”

Guilin: 3 star Li River Cruise & Sightseeing Tour

11.3 star Li River Cruise & Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 20 reviews · 1 day · from $82

Hotel pickup for a 3-star Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, included lunch, and 2 hours to explore the old town.

“Un servizio deludente, ben al di sotto delle aspettative e della descrizione fornita. Si tratta semplicemente di un trasferimento dall'hotel al molo, qualcosa che si potrebbe facilmente organizzare in autonomia con Didi. Una volta arrivati al molo, l’addetto si è limitato, in modo piuttosto disorganizzato, ad acquistare i biglietti alla biglietteria – un’operazione che avremmo potuto tranquillamente svolgere da soli – e poi ci ha lasciati lì. Considerando che un taxi dall’hotel a Yangshuo costa circa 25€, questa “esperienza” da 70€ è assolutamente sconsigliata.”

“The boat trip through one of China's most iconic and picturesque landscapes with views of the characteristic limestone mountains is very beautiful and relaxing. We had booked a four star boat with lunch buffet and enjoyed the trip which lasted a little over 4 hours. The subsequent bike ride in Yangshuo was disappointing as the trip was very short and the bikes were of poor quality.”

Guilin to Yangshuo Li River cruise with buffalo sightings, buffet lunch, then Yangshuo countryside biking plus West Street time. Private guide.

“We have spent a great day with Andy. First we had to drive around 1h to get to the place the Cruises depart and then spent 4h on the boat - fantastic landscape, time flies by with a small after lunch nap. Our boat was not too crowded compared to some others. Once arrived in Yangshou we enjoyed a cold drink before we started to explore the unique landscape around Yangshou. Our choice was for a motor scooter instead of a bike (it was extremely hot) and with Andy who knows every corner for a fantastic picture we were quite flexible also to reach longer distances. You need a guide…”
