Unforgettable experience!

Organizing our two days between Guilin and Yangshuo with Charles was easy! The experience was excellent from every point of view; he was always punctual and willing to accommodate us with schedules and travel. The landscapes seen and the experiences had are a 10 out of 10. First point: the rice paddies, he accompanied and guided us in this splendid place, then having us eat bamboo rice in a very well-kept local restaurant. In the evening he accompanied us to Guilin Park to let us take a tour there, even though it was not planned in the tour. The next day we moved from Guilin to Yangshuo via the cruise. He reserved the best seats for us and kept the suitcases himself, meeting us by car in Yangshuo. There he showed us two of the nicest areas of the Ten Miles Gallery: Moon Hill and one of their most characteristic bridges. Then in the evening he came to pick us up at the hotel to take us to see the Impression Sanjie Liu show, stunning! He took care of everything himself, including the choice of seats, and we were in a perfect position to enjoy the show! He then waited for us at the exit and accompanied us back to the hotel. I would recommend him a thousand times because he really made the difference after days of tiring travel. I recommend it especially to couples or families with children. Professional and kind. Thank you Charles!! ❣️

Unforgettable days in Guilin & Longsheng – Perfectly organized!

We booked a 2-day package with Charles for our family of 5 (4-star Li River cruise, Yangshuo, Longji Rice Terraces & train station transfer to Guilin North Station). Everything was perfectly organized from A to Z! Communication via WeChat beforehand was super fast, honest, and absolutely uncomplicated. Our private van was spacious, clean, and kept us perfectly air-conditioned through the summer heat. The driver was extremely punctual, helpful with ticket processing, and very flexible with our daily schedule. An all-around excellent service at very fair and transparent prices. Anyone who wants to experience Guilin stress-free and individually as a family is in the best hands with Charles. Absolute insider tip!

River and Rice Terraces.

Jak was a great guide and did his best to tailor the experience for the kids. There was a slight transportation glitch but Jake quickly resolved and secured another vehicle. On the 2nd day we had Peter who was also great and very knowledgeable. He was also very helpful when it came to assisting with strollers and other bags.

Petit trip on the 2nd

I booked the day before the trip by contacting the person in charge directly. They were quick to reply and assigned an English speaking driver and guide. The guide adjusted the schedule with detailed adjustments to the time and route, and suggested shows that were not on the agenda, which was very satisfying. I recommend it.

2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guilin.

How much does 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise cost?

+

Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guilin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guilin is not rushed.

Is 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guilin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guilin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guilin and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 2 days highlights tours : Longji rice terraces & Li River cruise start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guilin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Guilin?

+

On Outty we rank every Guilin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver, 1-DAY Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Guilin?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Guilin?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
