Review for: Relaxing Vacation | Next to the Mountain Meili + Lijiang + Shangri-La + Lugu Lake + Private Independent Tour to View Mei

Tour Guide: Our driver, Master Mu, was very reliable, introducing attractions and culture along the way. The two restaurants he recommended were both delicious. His driving skills were steady, and the car was clean and tidy. Accommodation Selection: They were in charge of booking the rooms, and I was worried that it would be difficult to book a hotel due to the National Day crowd. Before paying, the staff said they could definitely secure the rooms, but they failed to book the Indigo for one night and switched to another hotel. Later, they couldn't even book a twin room, so the two of us had to sleep in a double bed, which resulted in a bad night's sleep. The next day, we went to a higher altitude, and because we didn't rest well, we felt unwell.

Review for: Relaxing Vacation | Next to the Mountain Meili + Lijiang + Shangri-La + Lugu Lake + Private Independent Tour to View Mei

Our Yunnan trip went smoothly. Our driver and tour guide, Mr. Huang, was very professional. He drove safely and smoothly, was familiar with the road conditions, and handled everything well. This allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. He was attentive to our health and needs. Mr. Huang deserves high praise. We hope to have him as our driver and guide again next time.
