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.

Highly recommending Charles and his team services - I am very happy that I booked Charles services, my driver and guide name was Peter and he was really helpful and nice person. He helped with everything and spend full day with me driving me to the airport at the end. I would really recommend this to everyone who wants to visit Guilin area! Contact was smooth on WhatsApp and WeChat, no problem with payment as well. Charles booked me the ticket with window seat and lunch on the boat which was super convenient. One more time many thanks! Big recommendation to Charles and his team.

Perfect organization - The tour itself is worth a trip to China, the Li River is one of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, and its little brother Yulong deserves the same. Our boat had every comfort and we were served a hearty lunch on board. At the end our guide picked us up at the pier and toured the most spectacular places in Yangshuo and the Yulong River, gave us extra time to take our rides on the bamboo boat. It's my second tour with this agency and satisfied with the first or booked with them this tour, we found the same guide who speaks very good English and who immediately made himself available to answer all our curiosity or request. Charles arranged the tour for us at very short notice, despite this everything was perfectly arranged. I recommend it

Amazing Charles Guilin Tours - We visited China for the first time and we loved Guilin so much. For us Guilin is one of the most beautiful places we visited in our life till now. Maybe it's the most beautiful natural place in China. By Charles Guilin Tours we did Li River Cruise and visited the Yangshuo countryside. We loved it so much. Specially our guide Jenny was very humble to us. For her our tour got fulfilment. She was so helpful. She did her job excellently. Best wishes for Charles Guilin Tour and our guide Jenny 🙏🌼❤️🇨🇳

Comfortable without the rush - The cruise is for about forty people on 2 levels so no stress to get stuck in the crowd. Comfortable armchairs, tea, buffet lunch and enjoy the roof terrace to admire the panorama. From Guilim to Yangshuo, 84 kilometers of cruising in 4 or 4.5 hours in zen mode.

Unsure if we'll pick you up after the cruise - The driver had to wait for us at the landing dock of the boat we waited 1h30 . We had to make several phone calls and send messages before we were told that we were coming to collect us. We could see ourselves back by bus (2h!!) . Then we preferred to come back to the hotel than visit a village for fear that we would be left in the village. The price is not worth the service. So don't be wary of your return being assured!
