My wife and I have been living in Guangzhou for nearly five years now, and it was our first trip outside the province. We were planning our Guilin trip when we came across China Discovery last year. Wonder was really quick to make a perfect travel plan for 2 nights-3 days Guilin trip (13 May - 15 May). He also accommodated our special requests, like booking a 4-star cruise to travel from Guilin to Yangshuo and bamboo rafting on the Li River. We were also anxious about the Guilin weather in mid-May, and therefore, Wonder made the travel dates flexible. However, we made the trip on our fixed dates, and the weather was beautiful.

On arriving at Guilin, we were met by the smiling driver. The arrangements, from the car to the hotel selection, were good. I am restricting myself from talking about Guilin here, but indeed, the place is worthy of its title, "The most beautiful place in China." This review is incomplete without mentioning Steven, our friendly tour guide, whom we met on the second day morning. We came to know so many things about Guilin, the iconic landscape of it, and about China in general. Our whole trip was more enjoyable in his presence.

Overall, our first trip outside the Guangdong province was great, and thanks to China Discovery for that. I would highly recommend anyone taking their help to explore China. Just one recommendation for future travelers with China Discovery - please ask them about the meal plan of your itinerary. In our case, only the complimentary breakfasts at hotels and lunch on the cruise were included. That was not a problem for us, as we got the opportunity to explore local foods. But if you wish otherwise, please make sure to do the planning beforehand.
