3 Days Private Luxury Guilin Highlights Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a slower private trip with time for both city highlights and the Yangshuo landscape
This private tour is the broadest of the three, and it is built for travelers who want to see more than one part of the Guilin area without rushing. The itinerary combines city-center highlights with a cruise to Yangshuo, so the day mix is different from the two Longji-focused tours. It includes a driver/guide, bottled water, breakfast, and three lunches. The overall style is relaxed and family-oriented, with a minimum traveler requirement listed. Because the trip runs across multiple days, it suits visitors who want a fuller Guilin experience rather than a single-day outing.
3 Days Private Luxury Guilin Highlights Tour
- Private tour format for a more personalized pace
- Includes a driver/guide and bottled water
- Covers both Guilin city highlights and Yangshuo scenery by cruise
