★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews Our pick

Start at 8:30 a.m. from your Guilin hotel, airport, or train station, then spend 8 to 10 hours with a private English-speaking driver. Choose Yangshuo or Longji Rice Terraces, stop for photos, and adjust the day as you go. Drivers such as Jenny, Peter, Audrey, and Jason have helped guests shape practical, family-friendly outings.

“The two days with this tour was an incredible experience. There are many places to visit around Guilin and our driver and guide, Peter, did a great job. He was very helpful, and all my family enjoyed our time with him. 100% recommended. In Guilin just a few people speak English, so an English speaker guide is a great idea even for independent travelers!”
