We were extremely satisfied with our private customized trip to Yunnan; it was a choice we absolutely don't regret! First and foremost, the entire itinerary planning and communication process went very smoothly. The team is highly professional. They didn't just arrange things according to our requests; they also proactively offered suggestions and planned based on our ideas, preferences, and expectations. If you already know where you want to go and what you want to experience, it's even better to tell them in advance. They truly go out of their way to make sure your itinerary perfectly matches your expectations. Throughout the entire process, they were very respectful of our ideas and never forced us to go anywhere or do anything specific. Instead, they offered professional advice and allowed us to make our own choices. Communication via WeChat was also very convenient, with quick response times. Any issues we had during the trip were promptly addressed, which gave us great peace of mind. If you're considering a trip to Yunnan, I highly recommend booking their private customized tour! You won't have to worry about transportation, routes, hotel connections, or daily planning. You just need to get in the car and enjoy the journey. It's truly perfect for anyone who wants to travel easily while still having a high-quality itinerary. Additionally, I must give special praise to every driver we encountered on this trip! Each driver was incredibly friendly, professional, and very willing to share local culture, interesting stories, and the scenery along the way. This made the entire journey more meaningful and heartwarming than just 'checking off tourist spots.' Most importantly, every driver was extremely punctual; they never made us wait, and they were always happy to help along the way. We are truly grateful to them. Special thanks to our driver for the entire trip, Master Lu Chao. Lu Chao, thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your companionship, patience, and care throughout the journey. Your professionalism and attentiveness made us feel very safe and secure throughout the trip, and we made many wonderful memories. We are truly lucky to have met you this time! Overall, we have absolutely no regrets about this choice. Thank you to the entire team for all your arrangements, care, and effort! Our Yunnan trip was delightful and well worth it.

The tour was great covering 4 cities in Yunnan with a planned schedule. Few of tour guide didn't speak English, but The Chinese tourists people were so kind and nice to give local support! Only part i think it was lacking was the price since it was more expensive for solo Travellers as well as Chienese national foundation day

This 10-day Yunnan trip includes a 6-day tour group for Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang, a 2-day/1-night tour group for Shangri-La, and a 2-day/1-night tour group for Lugu Lake! Each leg of this tour had a different guide! We had Guide Liao Zhiyun leading us through Kunming and Dali! Guide Zhima led us to Lijiang, and Sangji Zhuoma led us on our Shangri-La tour! And our Brother Anwu led us on our Lugu Lake tour! Every guide was very professional, introducing us to many delicious foods and local specialties! The hotel accommodations and dining were also good!

my husband and I went for this short holiday trip in May, klook really well plan for this itinerary. it's included all - airport transfer, accommodation, meals, full journey transport with experience driver, plus tour guide (13 pax of us), and attractions (tickets), although need to transfer hotels every day as different city, also not all the hotels can be rated it 4 star, but for this price, really really good and worth it. Thank you klook platform and backend staff

The whole experience from booking to arranging our pick up, visiting the destinations to dropping us off, was seamless and conducted on WeChat with live translation. The driver/guide made good suggestions like taking us to Panxi S curve, a tea outlet shop, tie dye and other spots around Erhai Lake. the vehicle was new and clean and super comfortable! really glad we made this decision just two days before arriving in Dali. Highly recommend!

Finally made it to Yunnan and it was everything I dreamed of! Lugu Lake's crystal-clear waters, the peaceful vibes of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the incredible local cuisine made this 6-day journey truly special. Our tour leader went above and beyond – even prepared oxygen cans and sunscreen for everyone. No hidden costs, no rush, just pure enjoyment. Every detail was well taken care of. Yunnan is a place you'll want to visit again and again!

We had a fantastic morning at a family-owned tea plantation, where we were warmly welcomed by the host, 兰姐. Our guide, 香姐, was incredibly patient as she taught us the art of picking tea leaves. We even got to experience the process of drying and kneading the leaves afterwards. The entire experience was both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend this activity! location:

the guide from day 2 before the Li jiang tour was good, we learnt a lot from her , the Li Jiang tour guide was bad. the 3rd tour guide in Shangri-La was good too,. the itinerary can be improved as well the quality of hotels and meals. more time should be given to us for exploration at the yu long mountain, too many local performance and the cake making one should change to another activity. we booked our own hotel for the last night as we preferred to be near to the airport as our flight back is super early the following morning. , the travel agent was kind to arrange transfer for us,

What to know before visiting Dali

What to expect in Dali

This Things to Do collection is led by Tours, followed by Cultural experiences and Museums, so you’ll find a mix of guided outings alongside a smaller set of local cultural options and museum visits. That spread means Dali suits travellers who want organised day trips or flexible cultural add-ons rather than a huge museum scene. Demand peaks in June and is quietest in January, so availability for popular guided outings is tightest in June and loosest in January.

How to choose what to book

A main decision is whether you want an organised excursion or a lighter cultural experience, and that shapes both budget and ease of planning: the widest range is in Tours, with entry-level options typically around USD 26 and upper-end options around USD 67, offering anything from cheap group trips to pricier private guides. Cultural experiences have a narrower spread, with a typical price of USD 23, so shopping around gains little.

If you need the most affordable way in for simple sightseeing, Museums offer that entry point with a typical price near USD 1. Mid-range choices — mainly Cultural experiences — are where what’s included varies most, so check descriptions if you care about extras.

When travellers book for Dali

Most travellers book about 17 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 40 days out. That means plan on booking one to four weeks ahead for popular tours and cultural experiences, and allow extra cushion for visits during June, when demand peaks.

How prices compare across categories

The table below shows how Dali’s main categories compare on price so you can place a budget before you choose.

Category Typical Price Usual Range
Tours USD 41 USD 26 – 67
Cultural experiences USD 23 USD 15 – 26
Museums USD 1 USD 1 – 1

Typical price is the median paid on Klook; the usual range covers the middle half of bookings, so cheaper and pricier options exist outside it; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.
