Guilin Tours: The 15 Best Li River & Karst Days

79 tours  ·  from $19 a head

He was not only a kind and helpful guide, but also an exceptionally safe and careful driver — something we especially appreciated compared to our other experiences in China. The day was well-paced and full of beautiful sights, and we felt well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommended!”
