Fantastic 5.0
We planned about 30% of our Yunnan trip on our own and booked this tour for the rest of our journey from Dali to Lijiang and Shangri-La. Our tour advisor, Sally, was incredibly patient, and responsive. She answered all of our questions before the trip, and two days before departure we were added to a WeChat group with Sally and our driver, which made communication very easy throughout the trip. A special thank you to our driver, Mr. He Guo Zheng, who truly made our journey even more enjoyable. He was always punctual and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. His kindness and attentiveness made us feel well taken care of from start to finish. The scenery throughout the trip was absolutely breathtaking. Every destination had something unique to offer, from majestic mountains and peaceful lakes to charming old towns.

We booked for 3 pax for April 2026. 7 others joined us to make up the group. Itenery covered as mentioned with sufficient free time given to explore the places we visited. Klook handled the picking up from the Train Station on Arrival to sending us to the Airport for Departure, promptly and timely at our schedule. Kudos. In this respect, hats off to the coordinator Winnie (小小舟) for doing the planning work for us. She had patience and guided us along from the point we made contact, enquired about packages, the details in between, to our booking, arrival and departure effortlessly. For the tour, we travelled on the same vehicle throughout our journey. For the first 3 days of the tour, we had an amicable and pleasant guide with the name 杨雪梅. We knew at once she had passion for this job. Thanks for the great photos & good angles despite the crowds and also information that helped us appreciate our tour better. The next 3 days, Maka was our guide. He was loud but respectful & helpful.

The tourguide is very professional. Arrived at the meeting point before the meeting time. The transport throughout the journey was very spacious & comfortable. The inter city transport involved the High Speed train. The tour company booked a suitable & comfort seat throughout the HSR journey from Kunming to Dali, then from Lijiang back to Kunming. The hotels that were booked by the tour company are also very comfortable and near to the attraction point. In summary, the, i would rate it 9.0 out of 10.

Great 4.0
.The Yunnan travel package was fairly satisfactory, though the itinerary was only moderately organized. Destinations were interesting, and the tour guide was friendly, though not able to speak English; even basic English would help international travelers. Free tickets to Spruce Meadow were provided, while visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain required exchanging tickets with an extra fee. This was not managed early, preventing me from reaching the top. Meals were free but no halal options were available. As a Muslim traveler, I understand, but improvements would allow Muslim travelers to participate more comfortably. Overall, the experience was satisfactory, but better ticket management, halal meal options, itinerary planning, and basic English skills for guides would make the package more traveler-friendly.

Klook-organized my trip to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang areas was a pleasure, especially the hotel provided was very nice. Lunch was still standard. The tour leaders in Kunming, Ms. Tang Ling, and Mr. Chang TL Lijiang were very adept at providing a lot of information about the culture and life of Chinnese minority communities. Thank you also to the bus driver (P66677), who was very good at driving during the long and tiring trip. Thank you

Guide 茶金 was very friendly. We gave a list of places we wanted to go to, and he arranged it accordingly. He gave us our own time to explore places, and did not rush us. He even gave us some good suggestions on where to go for eg coffee at wenbi village, and brought us to a lunch place along the way (which was very yummy) as we had no idea where to go. He took us to some photo shots along the way, and shared his knowledge of Yunnan with us. It was an enjoyable trip!

The itinerary was flawless — no rushing at all. My English speaking tour guide took the time to explain Dali’s history and patiently answered all my questions. My favorite parts were visiting the local morning market, exploring the variety of fresh fruits and seafood from different communities, and the tie-dye experience with the local grandma. Highly recommend this experience!

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:

What to know before visiting Dali

Top experiences to try in Dali through the year

Dali’s most-booked experiences are Tours, followed by Cultural experiences and a small number of Museum visits, and demand rises and falls noticeably through the year. Bookings build from spring into a peak in June, then fall after summer into the quieter winter months.

Best activities by traveller type

Families will find guided Tours especially convenient — they offer a range of pacing and sights that suit mixed-age groups. Couples often choose Cultural experiences for a more intimate, local feel and to connect with Dali’s heritage. Solo travellers and small groups can pick from the same Tours list for flexible options, while Museums provide a very low-cost way to dip into local culture.

What travellers from Hong Kong tend to book ahead

Most visitors from Hong Kong keep plans flexible since many things can be arranged a day or two before travel, but the typical booking window is around 17 days and the earliest planners book roughly 40 days out. Booking ahead matters most for the high-demand period in June, when availability tightens.

How the main categories compare by price and who they suit

Museums are the easiest and cheapest way into Dali’s attractions, offering very low entry costs and suiting budget-conscious visitors or quick stopovers. Tours sit at the priciest end on average and also show the widest range of options — from entry-level guided outings to more premium experiences — making them suitable for families, groups and travellers seeking fuller itineraries. Cultural experiences sit between those extremes, appealing to couples and anyone after a local, immersive activity without the higher price spread of Tours.
