Absolutely satisfied - It went very well. Excellently organized to points: everything on time, communication. Our driver Stefan had picked us up, taken us to terminal, delivered tickets and explained everything. After end of cruise picked us up and brought to hotel. Reliable travel company. Booked other tours with them.

Nice - Nice cruise I took the tour without tour guide however the driver super friendly and helpful. I highly recommended so unwind and slow day just enjoying the cool breeze Quick and easy process to get to the cruise and back to the hotel Important to bring your passport with you for the ticket. There's some beverages and souvenirs to purchase on the cruise you can use Alipay or wechat for payment.

Recommend - My driver was the kindest human I’ve ever met in China! Pickup was on time, he made boarding the boat easy and got me a nice seat at the top deck. And he was waiting for me when I got off. I wish I got his name, he needs a pay rise!

Pearl River cruising with teens! - This is a must see experience when visiting Guangzhou! It really gives you an amazing view of the entire city and the breadth of its size. We cruised with Blue Dolphin cruises (there are many cruise operators available and we specifically asked for that one) because that is the best cruise ship since it has the open top deck. This tour company we booked through was very professional and responsive. The driver arrived on time and while we opted out of getting a tour guide, they still made sure to come with us to pick up our cruise tickets and wish us an enjoyable evening. Our group consisted of pre teens and teens and they all enjoyed the scenery and picturesque views. The cruise is an hour long - which is really all the time you need - and they provide bottled water and a small snack, although the “pier” area has multiple places to pick up drinks and snacks if needed. Overall a great touristy experience and highly recommend!

Great River Cruise - We had a fantastic experience on a river cruise on the Pearl River in Guangzhou with Ben as our guide. Ben's deep knowledge about the river and the city's landmarks made the cruise both informative and enjoyable. He was very punctual, ensuring that everything went according to schedule. Ben was easy to talk to and created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone on board. His insights and stories about the area added a special touch to the journey. I highly recommend Ben for a river cruise on the Pearl River – he truly made our experience memorable.

Light lights lights - Mango rocked as a tour guide. Seeing the lights on the buildings and the atmosphere on the boat felt like a big family gathering with Blade Runner characteristics.

Stunning night view in Pearl river through Cruise - We were invited by one of our clients to have a special night in Pearl river and visit city from another angel. He reserved the VIP section for us which was in top floor of cruise. It passed through river and we could take many pictures with different backgrounds such as Canton Tower, Bridges and tall building. It has stunning view night

The best river view of Guangzhou - It's really a very nice view of Guangzhou city, but the service is not as we have expected. Very minimal option for meal and drink, and we do expect some fancy bots.
