This review is for the Guilin portion of an 11 day private tour through Marco Polo Tours. Highly recommend Arthur as your guide of Guilin. He has been doing this for a long time and still loves showing off his home town. He speaks English well, and is enthusiastic and courteous. Grateful for the early and frequent communication prior to meeting. He met us at airport very late in evening with excellent driver Mr Tree. They took us to hotel and Arthur checked us in and made sure we were good before saying good night. He picked us up early the next morning and we drove to cruise boat for 4 1/2 boat ride down Li River. It was abdolutely beautiful. We then drove back to Guilin through countryside for photo stops. The evening was to ourselves which perfectly aligned with Lantern Festival fireworks for many hours! The next day Arthur and Mr Tree picked us up late morning and headed to The Reed Flute Cave which was a natural wonder. We then were driven to train station to head to our next China destination. Arthur came through security with us to make sure we knew which gate our train would leave from. Thank you Arthur, you made Guilin visit great! Thank you Mr Tree.(Hope spelling close).

Being worried about the conditions of Gulin and Yangshuo in winter, we were more than pleasantly surprised. Even in January, the views are stunning, the landscape breathtaking and we were able to avoid the masses of tourists that come here during the season. Thanks to our Guide Tom Wu every need of ours was met and we've got to know a lot about the region. We will be happy to visit again!

We had a fantastic time in Guilin and Yangshuo and our guide Tom Wu and our driver were great. We were met at the station, all be it with a little wait as there was a mixup with which station, so do double check! We saw all the sites in Guilin and Yangshuo and found it truly beautiful and a great rest stop on our extended 18 day trip. I asked about the local cuisine and Tom took us to a great local place for a hearty bowl of rice noodles! The next day Tom had some suggestions for tweaks to our itinerary to make it more relaxed, and surprised us with a trip to an ancient village and a wonderful restaurant. We really appreciated that! Travel China guide were happy for us to choose our own hotels, and the guide and driver were always on time and helped us with bags and everything. Overall we felt well looked after, learned lots of historical ands cultural information and appreciated having a local guide with great local knowledge. Thanks Tom!

We loved our tour of Guilin and Yangshuo with our amazing guide Samantha. We would highly recommend the trip, with a good mix of activities, from the magical Li River Cruise to taking scooters around the countryside. Samantha really made sure we had a great time and is a real local expert.

We are an Italian family. We reached Guilin and were picked up by Monica from Travel China Guide who firstly introduced us to Guilin town (we arrived the day of Mid Autumn Festival: with a joyful atmosphere and lights and singing people all around the city lakes). The following day Monica led us to a fantastic cruise along Li river and Guilin region mountains to Yangshuo. Landscapes are simply gorgeous there, and my camera was really hot when we reached Yangshuo, out final goal. In Yangshuo we caould then have a tour around countryside and visited a farmers' village. Monica booked for us a worth seeing open air night show on the history of that region, with 600 local people as actors performing on a lake as stage!! Monica was a great guide: extremely competent on each subject, precise, available, kind and very friendly. Her English is perfect, her support was great. Next time we will spend a couple of more days in Guilin/Yangshuo, as we realized many other nice spots can be discovered there.
