★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 20 reviews · 1 day · from $82

Review the Guilin to Yangshuo Li River cruise, with pickup, lunch, scenery, costs, seating, service, and practical booking advice.

“Un servizio deludente, ben al di sotto delle aspettative e della descrizione fornita. Si tratta semplicemente di un trasferimento dall'hotel al molo, qualcosa che si potrebbe facilmente organizzare in autonomia con Didi. Una volta arrivati al molo, l’addetto si è limitato, in modo piuttosto disorganizzato, ad acquistare i biglietti alla biglietteria – un’operazione che avremmo potuto tranquillamente svolgere da soli – e poi ci ha lasciati lì. Considerando che un taxi dall’hotel a Yangshuo costa circa 25€, questa “esperienza” da 70€ è assolutamente sconsigliata.”
