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.

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.

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!

The Li River Cruise is lovely and Yangshuo is so beautiful with breath-taking scenery. It is definately underrated and undeservedly placed in the shadow of the more famous Guilin. My big criticism was that this is a full day tour yet when we arrived in Yangshuo, we were only given 1 hour to browse round or we had to pay extra for activities to fill the afternoon. This is extremeley cheeky bearing in mind the amount of money we had already spent on the trip. Because we chose not to pay extra, our tour was cut short and we were taken home earlier. I thought that was terrible.

This was the first day of 3 in Guilin, and it definitely set the tone. We loved the cruise, our tour guide who was both hilarious and knowledgeable, and the visit to Yangshuo. Even the bus rides had great views. You will stand in awe the entire day. This day alone made us fall in love with Guilin. Seeing the exact view that's on the 20 Yuan was surreal. I couldn't say enough about this trip. If you get a chance to take a country tour while in Yangshuo, I recommend 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.

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.

Very beautiful cruise, but as we paid for a FULL day, it's unacceptable to learn that the afternoon is empty unless if we pay additional money!!!!

3 star rating: Worth doing

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.
