the tour was really interesting and well organized.Pick up was on time and the guide really professional. The only things the tour was bilingual (Chinese and English) and not just English.

Nice n pleasant trip..

China was amazing, so were my guide. He became my Chinese friend now. We managed to see so much cultural and historical sites, while experienced local life and cuisines we would never got a chance to have if we go by ourselves. Thank you Viator!

We had a fantastic time despite hard Chinese beds. The guide was lovely and helpful and spoke excellent English. We went to some amazing places, including a village in the mountains to see the paddy fields. Food, overall, magnificent. We did a fair bit of walking so don't do this trip if unfit!

Doing what: Li River Cruise Full Day Tour of Guilin and Yangshuo

The trip is certainly worth doing if you get the weather. Unfortunately, it was raining for the whole trip we made. We still enjoyed it but it would be much more spectacular on a good day. There was one downside. The cruise came with lunch included. However, as soon as we were settled on board, we were asked if we wanted to order a 'special' meal. It was not made clear at all if this was us ordering our included lunch or if this was an extra. It took a while to figure this was an ‘extra’ out as the waitress did not speak English. The included lunch was basic but still good quality.

Excellent guide and driver of support vehicle, able to be flexible with itenenary. Excellent scenery. Guide chose excellent places to eat and meals, plus accommodation. Arranged tickets and transport to the light show in Yangshuo. Better to choose a cooler time of year though.

A good combination of bike ride, hiking and relaxing time surrounded by the most beautiful karst mountains. Highly recommended for the off the beaten track explorers!

Doing what: Yangshuo Kayaking Adventure on the Li River

I cannot compare it to other parts of the Li River - the landscape was not too amazing and the ride not too adventurous - good for families though! there was promised to have a guide with us to carry the bags on another boat, so that if we needed something (food/drink etc.) he would be behind us all the time and we can ask for our bags - he just disappeared and waited at the end of the track...luckily I had everything I needed with me...others not. So take everything with you! Otherwise good organisation! Nice and friendly people (Driver, she was really nice!)

A great day out. It was a bit of a surprise when they told us that we'd have to fork out more cash to partake in the afternoon's activities, but we did and had a great time.

No shopping stops either, outstanding!

The tour was great. Everything was well organized. They gave us the opportunity to book an extra tour for 25 euros which was well worth it.

One of the must do trips in China - amazing scenery. There were about 6 boats doing this trip at the same time. To appreciate the scenery you need to be on the top deck rather than looking through glass windows - but no seats, and it's a long cruise. Lunch was inconveniently served early, just before we reached one of the most picturesque parts of the river, so interrupted by dash on deck to get better view. Food rather poor but sufficient. Yangshuo disappointing as highly commercialised shopping trap, but recommend optional (extra cost) tour into countryside and a restful river trip on small bamboo boats, similar to the English punts.

The river cruise was very enjoyable and got to take great pictures of the beautiful landscape. The optional cruise on the bamboo raft was fun too!

Excellent cruise with lunch. Only negative comment was the crew forgot the locker key for drinks and soft drinks. Drinking water was from a 5 gal bottle water container. Lunch was excellent also for the cost of the tour.
