A Relaxing and Scenic Day on the Li River
I booked this cruise as a solo traveler and had a very enjoyable day. The scenery along the Li River is truly impressive, with beautiful karst mountains, small riverside villages, and constantly changing views throughout the journey.
The boat was comfortable and clean, and everything was well organized from boarding to arrival. I especially appreciated that there was enough space to move around and enjoy the scenery from different viewpoints. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
For anyone traveling alone and looking for a relaxing way to experience one of China’s most famous landscapes, I would definitely recommend this cruise. It was a peaceful and memorable part of my trip.

Nice day out with stunning views and amazing final stop.
Picked up from our hotel on time in s nice clean car.
Finding our boat was a bit tricky. Driver pointed us to the right direction then left us yo it. He was very polite but felt a bit left in the lurch.
Great seats on the boat. Amazing views. And the final stop is such a great place to visit. A proper Chinese experience.
Couple of tips.
The English commentary is via a QR code on the back of the ticket. It’s a bit clunky to be honest and not that good.
The food was ok at best!!!
There is no return back to the hotel on this trip, which we 100% knew no issue. But if going back to Guilin a taxi takes around 1 and a half hours. But only costs £20 ish. Just need to allow travelling time back.
But overall a nice day out

Perfect tour!
The driver waited for me on time in the hotel lobby, helped me collect the boat tickets upon arrival at the dock, and the service was excellent. The private car and dedicated transfer service are a bit pricey, but they are convenient and reassuring. The scenery along the Li River is breathtaking, the cruise ship is spotlessly clean, and the buffet lunch offers a variety of delicious dishes. Highly recommended.

Perfect way to experience the Li River and Yangshou County!
What a great day!
Advance communication was informative and helpful. Transportation was roomy, comfortable and air conditioned.
Our guide William offered lots of insights into the area, culture, history and was extremely accommodating.
The cruise was beautiful. The boat did not offer many translations so it was helpful that William was able to provide guidance, teach us about the geography and translate anything that needed to be conveyed.
We elected to ride bikes rather than use scooters and we’re not disappointed at all! The bikes were pretty comfortable and in good condition. We biked approximately 8 miles, William leading us around a path following the river until turning back into the countryside and venturing back through a few villages.
We had some hot and rainy weather but even with that, we truly enjoyed the day! Highly recommend!

Could do this for a bit...
Could do this for a bit cheaper by using Didi and booking tickets for the Li River Cruise yourself, but it was very convenient to have everything handled for us. We didn't have to worry about timing or the ticket reservation as that was scheduled and booked in advance for us.

A fantastic day admiring a most stunning scenery with a fun and knowledgeable guide
My driver Peter was fantastic, well informed and fun.
He suggested an itineray taking into consideration my interests.
Sailed the Li River admiring the odd shaped mountains, stopped to have coffee in a coffee-shop surrounded by rice fields, took the cable car to the Longji Rice Terraces with its stunning scenery. Took in a show by the Long Hair Yao people in Yangshuo.
And more.
A brilliant day spent with a fun guide. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat

Fantastic itinerary with an experienced guide
The travel between these 2 activities is quite long as they were on opposite directions. However, the view of the rice terraces was worth the travel.
