Guilin! Guilin! Guilin!
Sin duda, Guilin es una ciudad y tour que recomiendo ampliamente. Los dos rios naturales, limpios (se puede nadar y pescar en ellos) que cruzan la ciudad, sumado a las monta?as que lo rodean (a las cuales puedes subir y tomar un té en la cima) más el centro con diferentes tipos de comercio entre ellos las artesanías fueron las cosas que me enamoraron de Guilin.Estos detalles sumado a la gran compa?ia y acompa?amiento de nuestro guia Alonso hicieron que esta ciudad me impresionará. Sin duda regresaré en algún momento, mientras tanto a quienes tengan contemplado hacer un viaje a China les recomiendo Guilin como destino dentro de su itinerario. more

Amazing experience!
It was an incredible experience. Vincent was the best guide we've ever had. He's intelligent and was able to answer all our questions. He didn't just act as our tour guide, but went above and beyond, like a close friend would. The organization of our tour was excellent. The quality of the included hotels and meals was high. We enjoyed every moment. Vincent prepared a tea ceremony for us, offering us the opportunity to taste different Chinese teas and shared many stories. This was one of the highlights of our month-long trip in China! more

Well Worth
During the tour, Guide Vincent did an excellent job to ensure our tour a good experience. For example, driver found that one key screw of my mom's wheel chair was missing, he and driver immediately searched and found a hardware store to put on a replacement screw so that we could continue the tour safely. We were very happy worked with China Highlights. more

A dream come true!
Our visit to Guilin could not have been memorable. Lily our tour guide and Tao our driver made sure to create a seamless adventure to Guilin Yangshuo by being flexible with our needs at the moment and by providing the space for creativity. We maximized the time allotted and savored the countryside just the way we dreamt of. The caves, the hills, the rivers, the shows, the flavors...all of it soulfully delicious. Lily and Tao's punctuality and knowledge of the country is definitely what made this experience a positive one which we will never forget. Lily gave us the time and space when needed to absorb as much as we could without interruption. That was the cherry on top. This travel is the highlight of our experience in Asia. Thank you Lilly and Tao for such a dream come true. more

Grab your comfortable walking shoes and enjoy a fun tour in China!
Our agent, Leah, was very helpful in designing a 9-day 8 person China tour to Beijing, Shanghai and Guilin. Throughout the process of booking activities and arranging accommodations she focused on making sure we were able to see and do everything we were interested in. In addition to the “must do” activities such as The Great Wall in Beijing and the Bund in Shanghai we were able to visit a local fresh food market and see a new upcoming shopping center featuring local artisans. Highly recommend Leah for your next booking to have a wonderful tour experience in China. more

We spent 2 days in Guilin and 1 day in
We spent 2 days in Guilin and 1 day in Yangshou under China highlights. Gary was our tour guide in Guilin. He already communicated with me prior to our arrival and was waiting for us at the airport.He spoke good English and is very professional in rendering his services. At Longsheng rice terraces, he took us to path off the beaten tracks to avoid the crowd. The river cruise down Li river was amazing with beautiful karst landscape. Gary also introduced his Zhuang minority tribe culture to us. We had so much fun stuffing rice into bamboo to be burnt and got to eat it. At Yangshou, we learnt how to make the Chinese traditional fan. Overall it was an amazing experience. more

Wonderful adventure, wonderful giude.
We had a great time in Hunan Province thanks in no small part to our excellent guide, Lily, who took us to all of the major attractions throughout the region starting in Guilin and the villages in the mountains where we walked through the rice fields watching the farmers harvesting. She then took us to a little restaurant in the village where they had prepared our lunch inside bamboo, heated over hot coals. She and our driver provided us with exceptional services and were very flexible with scheduling our activities. Lily was very personable and her English is very good. more

Un sueño hecho realidad, descubriendo Guilin
Tuvimos una maravillosa experiencia en Guilin junto con nuestro guía en espa?ol Alonso. Viajamos con mi marido he hijo de 4 a?os en un tour privado por varias ciudades de china y Guilin fue igual a descubrir un tesoro. Hermosa ciudad, tranquila y llena de vida a la vez. Paseamos por las terrazas de arrozales, la cueva de la flauta t luego en barco por río Li. Todo fue espectacular, muy bien organizado por Alonso y China Highlights. Incluso nos cumplieron el sue?o de plantar 2 árboles, algo que sin ellos y su amorosa ayuda no podría haber sucedido. Un tour a medida, muy atentos a buscar evitar demoras o espacio con mucha gente. Solo palabras de agradecimiento y una gra recomendación por la amabilidad, profesionalismo y excelente atención. more

Чудесный октябрь в Китае
Мы путешествовали по Китаю 7-18 октября. Очень благодарны компании China Highlights ,в лице нашего консультанта Маши (Masha Zhou), за прекрасно организованное путешествие. Мы достаточно долго выбирали маршрут, следуя рекомендациям Маши, в итоге получили незабываемые впечатления! За время поездки мы посетили Пекин, национальный парк Чжандзядзе, Гуйлинь, Яншо, Шанхай. Все было организовано отлично, и экскурсии, и трансферы, и поездки (самолеты, поезд) по маршруту. more

China Highlights offers hand holding
China Highlights offers hand holding that you didn’t realize that you needed. Our guides, Chase in Guilin, helped us navigate away from the crowds, take countless pictures and even waited with us at the airport to ensure a friction free experience. I usually plan trips myself but China Highlights did such a good job customizing to our times and needs that if I could have the same experience everywhere, I would stop doing my own planning. more

A GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!
What a fantastic holiday in Guilin we have just returned from, organized from start to finish by our Asia Highlights representative Zac & his team. The trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Our tour guide was always on time, while our driver was very pleasant and ensured a smooth ride. The hotel accommodations were perfect. Trekking to the top of the mountain to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the Li River was the ultimate highlight of our trip. The vegan cuisine available was some of the best we have ever had, with top-notch offerings from the finest restaurant in town. The team went above and beyond, accommodating all our requests with eagerness. Our final farewell dinner along the Li River marked another exceptional moment, transitioning us from one wow to another, all thanks to the meticulous arrangements by the team. The warm welcome we received throughout our journey truly made it the trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend Asia Highlights for an unforgettable experience. more

ONE OF BEST MEMORABLE TRIP: GUILIN CHINA
I had recently travelled to Guilin for 5 Days, My TripAdvisor Bella at ASIA HIGHTLIGHTS was very prompt in reply and Plan the whole tour smoothly like a home country for me. I had experienced a best Hospitality since my tour started from Guilin railway station. My driver / representative who met me at railway station was most professional. He was accompanying with me till the Hotel for make sure smooth check-in. My Tour Guide for the overnight trip for Yangsuo, Mr. Lele was awesome and took us in ancient Culture & history with his deep explanation. Apart from the viewing Mountains, the most memorable was shopping at Local market of Vegetable, fruits, self-painting with a professional teacher, the experience of handmade fan making was amazing. Thanks to ASIA HIGHTLIGHTS and experienced TripAdvisor’s Bella who made this short trip memorable. I shall you contact for the next trip. Highly recommended. more

One of the best experience in Guilin
These 3 days in Guilin and Yangsuo were great.The hotel arrangements were good especially the one in Yangsuo, nature quite and unique. Thank you for the morning breakfast they prepared since we had a early train.Our guide, Lele, a zhuang person, was very informative. He told us many culture and custom of minority nationalist. The teacher in handmade fan store was kind and patient, he knew a lot of knowledge of this Intangible Culture Heritage, but it's too professional to translate. Want to know more, a professional translator will be better. The food 'Beer fish' is a must-try when you come here. One thing should be awared, prepared some candles when driving up to the mountain, the speed was a littel fast. more

Well organized and detail-oriented
Well organized and detail-oriented!I booked a trip to China in October with them. Mr. Zac and Ms. Bella helped me to plan everything. I planned to visit Guilin, but there was no direct flight from Phnom Penh. So, they helped me to book trains and transfer for connecting. The guides, Ms. Nancy in Gangzhou, Mr. Lele in Guillin, they both were very professional and helpful. I don't need to worry anything, they even helped me to check in my flight. They took care of me well and made a beautiful memory. Thankssssss to Asia Highlights team! I highly recommend booking trips with them. more

And with this services I will contact you Asia Highlights whenever and wherever I visit China and South East Asia countries. more
