We had an amazing kayaking experience in Guilin. From start to finish, it was an absolute highlight of our trip. Xiaoyuan was a great guide, leading us through the exhilarating rapids while ensuring our safety throughout. The excitement of navigating the fast-moving river was balanced perfectly with moments of calm, where we could drift with the current and take in the breathtaking scenery. Xiaoyuan attention to detail and knowledge of the area truly made the experience unforgettable. We also appreciated the delicious lunch provided afterward, and your thoughtfulness in accommodating our dietary requirements did not go unnoticed. As a group of avid travellers and kayakers, we make it a point to kayak wherever we go, and our time with you in Guilin will undoubtedly remain one of our most memorable adventures. Thank you again, Xiaoyuan, for such a wonderful experience. We hope to kayak with you again in the future!

Amazing Experience at Guilin! It was a wonderful trip to Guilin, highly recommend it! Communication with Mr. Andy was smooth and all was well described ahead of time. Our guide, Mr. Peter, arrived on time, and we felt comfortable and well taken care of the whole trip. Always ready to help us and guide us during the tour with great knowledge and explanations, Mr. Peter was very accommodating of our schedule and pace. The Guilin and Yangshuo are just gorgeous, and we are glad we visited both places, instead of picking only one of the city. The Ruyi cable car had great views and we both enjoyed it very much.

We had Sunny- best guide ever! So sweet and patient. Explained everything and was super nice. Had the best 2 days in Guilin, sight seeing was terrific and weather was excellent. Thank you!!

A pleasant 4.5 hour cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. A buffet lunch is served during the cruise. Beautiful views along the way. Pick-up from the hotel and transfer to the port. I recommend.

Great visit, the guide very polite and spoke Spanish also. He was flexible and we even visited extra places. Great experience
