Her knowledge of the city and the old town was vast and she was great company as we walked around the local sights of this beautiful part of Guangzhou. Perfectly planned itinerary for the half day including a delicious morning snack stop! Highly recommend this tour.Written December 5, 2024
- lubnas19940 contributionsBeautiful Nature!Best tour of Yangshuo with Mango. She was very patient, and I loved seeing the beautiful scenery.

- BDsd0 contributionsA great way to see the YangtzeThis was a once in a lifetime experience. The scenery was fantastic and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Each day we had a different excursion ashore. The food on board was very good and there is a nice top deck bar for enjoying the scenery while cruising.Written October 23, 2024
- Tyler L0 contributionsGreat Tour if you want to see the ancient part of GuangzhouThe old part of Guangzhou was astonishing to see. So many interesting things and architectures there between the modern buildings. It's a small juwlery in such a big city. The tour was very nice and we got a lot of informations about the history and everything we saw. It was nice to know about it.Written October 21, 2024
- MarianaA6520 contributionsA very scenic, informative and complete walking tour of GuangzhouAn amazing walking tour in Guangzhou’s old town! My tour guide Mango picked me up at my hotel, she knows a lot about the city’s history and present time. She speaks excellent English and was super helpful and patient while I took pictures and asked questions along the way. I enjoyed the walking tour so much, we visited lots of beautiful places, parks, markets, temples, and more! A must if you’re ever in Guangzhou. Mango even helped me find my way back to my hotel. And we even booked an evening boat tour with her. 10/10 ⭐️Written October 17, 2024

- joselynb2600 contributionsRubbish One more pictureThis was the most disappointing meal I have had for AU$300 no seafood a small lobster. You’re only allowed one and they advertising as seafood buffet. The prawns were small as a pin and the whole place is actually very disappointing. Australians. Do not come to this place at all, fooled by pictures .Written September 3, 2024
- 267vinceh0 contributionsExcellent 5 star service !A five star service 👍. Very responsive, attentive, and profressional. The ship and the crews are very profressional. Very clean and excellent facilities. The foods and drinks (including alcohols) are great. Thank you Mr. Wander Wong for all the assistance. Very recommended especially for overseas tourists like us.Written July 3, 2024
- agamicontreras0 contributionsVery interesting tour to learn about the history of GuangzhouIt was very interesting walking through the old town and learning about the history. Mango, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and very kind.Written July 2, 2024
- Pioneer5457260 contributionsA great way to relax and slow down!This was one of the highlights of our trip to China - a perfect way to travel from Chongqing to Yichang! Ben was very helpful and efficient - he booked our trip and kept us up to date about our booking. The cruise was very relaxing and it was nice to have such a good choice of food at meal times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were included. Our cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable - I loved just sitting on the balcony as the ship cruised along the banks of the Yangtze. The scenery was beautiful, especially once we had entered the Three Gorges. The organised excursions were interesting - my favourite was The Mini Three Gorges tour which we paid extra for - it was definitely worth it to explore the smaller gorges - the scenery was stunning. Overall, I would recommend the cruise for a relaxing few days travelling down the Yangtze - it is a great way to slow down and enjoy the scenery.Written May 22, 2024
- Kelly P0 contributionsExcellent private tour loved it!Great booking communication and our guide Mango was so great! We loved the cruise and best seats in the open air and having a personal tour guide was amazing. Thank you!Written April 21, 2024

- Markus G0 contributionsWalking Tour GuangzhouWe were very lucky and had Stony as our guide only for us (brother and sister). Stony was a pefect guide. He picked us up at the hotel on time, brought water for us and always took good care of us. We only can recommend this tour and would go any time on another trip in Guangzhou or China with Stony again.Written March 7, 2024
- carolynlP2006EO0 contributionsA Terrific TripWe took the Yangtze 3 from Yichang to Chongqing. What a terrific 5 day trip - impressive dam, scenic river, mystical gorge, sparkling new ship, and fellow passengers who were truly kind. We two were the only English-speaking passengers on board but the crew made sure that we, and everyone else, had a wonderful trip. Unlike other boat trips, this cruise includes all excursions. One tip: for a more intimate dining experience and bar, book a suite.Written December 3, 2023
