Best boat - Wonderful cruise. The boat was very clean and the seats in vip very comfortable with exclusive access to the front deck. Staff did not speak any English and I didn’t understand why I was offered to order food when I understood lunch was included. It was and I didn’t need to order the fish but it was delicious if expensive.

Amazing cruise on the Li River! - Charles helped arrange a wonderful cruise on the Li River all the way from Guilin to Yangshou. The scenery was amazing and the boat itself was very nice and comfortable. The cruise lasted around 4 hours, and the scenery was breathtaking. I would recommend using Charles to anyone coming to visit Guilin and Yangshou. It is a fantastic and memorable trip to behold!

Amazing views all Day long - Wonderful tour, everything was perferct. All Day long tour, pick up at hotel lobby, 4 Hours boat cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Stunning views and local fish to taste on the boat. Then, with our guide Silvia ( a fantastic, well prepared, helpfull and nice person) we walked in Yangshuo West st. then we had a 40 minute ride on bamboo raft, and we visited landscape in Yangshuo area. We had really good moments, we could take our time without hurry. I really raccomanded this tour. Nothing to complain.

Very nice experience - Beautiful and very well organised trip. There were 11 of us and our Chinese guide - Quiaoli, English name Silvia - was very nice and allowed us to spend a wonderful day. I recommend this tour, very scrupulous Charles and very prepared Quiaoli. Great!

Great day trip - Marvelous day with our guide, Silvia. Everything was like promised (boat, lunch, yangshuo, bridge). Our driver was right on time for pick up. Silvia explained us plenty of information and history. We really enjoyed the organisation of this trip. We recommend it.

A outstanding experience! - Peter was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable about Guilin and Yangshuo, and shared a number of interesting stories and facts with us throughout the trip. Although it rained (as it’s the wet season), it was perfect for us, as it really added to the mystical atmosphere of this region 😊 We loved every moment and highly recommend this tour! Tips for other travellers: - Communication with Charles / the team is very easy via WhatsApp/ We Chat. - Pick up and return is to your accommodation. - You’ll be dropped off for the boat tour in Guilin and picked up / met at the wharf in Yangshuo for the return countryside tour. - The boat cruise guide / announcements are in Mandarin, but the key highlights announced include: 1) Nine horses mountain; 2) The Li River view on the 20 Yuan note; and 3) Lunch at around 12:00. (You’ll notice everyone moving around for each of these, so you can’t miss them! 😉)

Cruise to recommend - Despite the heavy rain that stopped at departure and cloudy weather, the cruise went well e , the beautiful scenery that with the mist gave an unreal side. Few boats from the GUILIN side. 4 hours of sinking walk in the water.
