Itinerary
- 1Originating in the Mao’er Mountains, the Li River was once one of China’s most important waterways, connecting the Yangtze Valley with the Pearl River Delta. Flanked by green karst hills, your tour today will get you out onto the water on a private kayak tour with an expert guide. The kayak tour lasts approximately 3-4 hours including transfers to and from Yangshuo Town. Once you have collected your kayak equipment, you will paddle along easy routes, traveling downstream. Set off from the ancient and peaceful town of Shazi near Yangshuo. Paddle your way south to Shazi bridge. Although the karst formations rise less dramatically as the section between Yangdi and Xingping, this stretch of river is beautifully serene and suffers very little traffic. It is also an excellent opportunity to watch rural riverside life as fisherman work their nets and farmers bring their water buffalo to the river to feast on the water and reeds. Itinerary: 9:00--10:00: Yangshuo/Guilin hotel pick up & transfer to the Shazi town. 10:00--12:00: Enjoy the Kayaking tour at the river. 12:00--13:00: Back to Yangshuo center. 13:00--14:00: Have a lunch at West street. 14:00--14:30: Back to the Yangshuo or Guilin hotel.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- tangenjm0 contributionsGreat guide and arrangement.Great experience. Helpful fluent in English and very knowledgeable. Great stuff in short. We also added the silver cave with a minor add to the cost.Written September 14, 2024
- M4962QVmanishk0 contributionsA let downThe scale is grand and backdrop unique. I liked the lighting and colors. However the show tries to pack in too many different things and the performances don't have an impact given large distance away from performers. The language and music is also not something that most foreigners will be able to appreciate. I would keep this activity only if you have ample time. Passable.Written September 8, 2024
- GoPlaces037508204250 contributionsThe tour was incredibleThe spots were incredible and really beautiful. The driver was friendly and helpful. Just only drawback was the restaurant he selected for lunch it was dirty restaurant and the food was bad. But rather than that I enjoyed this tour and 100% recommended .Written September 8, 2024
- camyoungnz0 contributionsA must Visit Location in Guilin/Yangshuo.Awesome!!! We took a Didi out there (USD8 each way) Our hotel (The Bamboo Leaf Hotel - Highly Recommended) organised tickets (USD30 ea for Adults). Fantastic views (away from a lot of buildings and man made structures)Written September 4, 2024
- Pstan900 contributionsFantastic time with AndyFantastic time with Andy - everything went smoothly, he was a fantastic and fun guide and ensured we had a great time !! Would really recommendWritten August 17, 2024
- NiccoloSacchi0 contributionsTour with a private driver rather than a guide, disappointingWe booked a private custom tour for 6 people with Andy who assigned another guide for our tour. The guide had a good level of English, however: 1) he was more of a driver than a guide since he explained close to nothing in all the places we visited (including the Guilin romance Park: he just brought us to the theater and out, without showing us the park which is actually decently big), 2) we finished 3 hours earlier than planned due to weather conditions so we did fewer activities and the guide had to spend less time with us, but we got no discount, 3) we provided our feedback to Andy and we literally only received a "Oh" as response.Written June 1, 2024
- 732eliess0 contributionsSmooth and great experienceVery nice tour ! Andy our tour guide was very helpful! He bring us to nice spots and was able to adapt when situation changeWritten May 26, 2024
- 448lindseyw0 contributionsAmazing Views with a Great Guide!Andy was a fantastic guide! His English is superb and he is fun and easy to be around. We went to places we never would have known to find otherwise - and they were incredible. We also had a couple of instances of group members leaving items behind and both times Andy went to coordinate and get the items back. We enjoyed our time with Andy and wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with him in the future.Written May 16, 2024
- D8454FQnicolek0 contributionsIndividualised day tripWe had a lovely day, the guide adapted the tour to our wishes and needs - for example taking another hiking route that is less frequented and making a stop at a tea farmWritten April 26, 2024
- feelionIre0 contributionsA perfect day in YangshuoWe arranged a private tour with Michelle, and the experience was beyond words. Michelle spoke flawless English, provided abundant information, and guided us through the main sights. We enjoyed both a scenic boat cruise and a bike tour, with Michelle patiently snapping countless photos for us. We savored a delightful traditional meal at a charming café. Our day couldn't have been more perfect. Additionally, Michelle went above and beyond to assist us in booking tickets for the Beijing hidden city, handling every request with utmost helpfulness. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend both the tour and Michelle as an exceptional guide.Written April 26, 2024
- Henry I0 contributionsGreat day out in YangshuoJackie spoke good English and was very flexible. He knew exactly where to go and which photos to take. He made all of the ticketing and admin seamless. He even bought our ice cream when we couldn’t get Weixin to work!Written April 2, 2024
- 877chinap0 contributionsAvoid crowds - late afternoon Ruyi Peak experienceWe thought we had run out of time to visit Ruyi Peak, but at 4pm we decided to make a dash for it. We booked a Didi and arrived at the Ruyi Peak ticket office 35mins later. Thankfully there was no queue and 2 mins later we were in the cable car..amazing! In an hour we were able to reach the peak, walk to and across the suspension bridge, stroll along the bridge with the glass floor, take photos and catch a cable car back to the carpark. A 2 hour round trip would probably be needed if we'd attempted to visit earlier in the day but at 430pm all tour groups had left 😁. We weren't able to find a Didi at 530pm, but there were several cars available to negotiate with for the trip back to our hotel.Written February 17, 2024
- bipingaur0 contributionsGO with AndyAndy was an amazing tour guide. Always on time and always smiling. Full of energy and enthusiasm. He is knowledgeable about the places, but he never inundates you with too much information. He lets you enjoy the sites silently and only adds great relevant points to the conversation. He took a few very good pictures of us with his camera and shared them. Thoroughly enjoyed time with him.Written December 22, 2023
- 944angiep0 contributionsA definite must go!Wished we had spent more time there, allow for at least half a day. The view from the peak was beautiful. Buying charms and hanging along the bridge was a novelty but the red charms make photographs beautiful. Highly recommended.Written December 7, 2023
- paulorJ6784WJ0 contributionsExcellent private tour in YangshuoI visited Yangshuo region with Andy Lee. First stop was at the unique Xianggong Hill viewpoint, a mustsee place in China. Then we went to Xingping old town and 20 RMB viewpoint, made the bamboo boat cruise in the Yulong and, in the evening, went to the Impression Sanjie Liu show in Yangshuo. All these places are magnificent and worth the visit. Andy is an excellent guide, I had a great day. Highly recommended!Written November 14, 2023

1) Xianggong mountain scenic spot
2) Bamboo raft ride down the river
3) Quick stop to see the kumquat / mandarin plantations
4) Yangshuo West Street stop
5) Liu Sanjie show
The good

- Comfortable and clean SUV type vehicle
- Punctual and efficient
- Can answer basic questions and provide some interesting anecdotes of the places you visit or see along the way
- His itineraries gave us sufficient time at each location without anything feeling rushed
- the stop at the orange farm was nice little unexpected touch which our young kids enjoyed immensely
- no forced trips to shops etc
What you don’t get
- someone who will be with you every step of the way and give you detailed and exhaustive histories and information
Because the above is exactly what we anticipated and needed - we felt his services were excellent.
