Great driver with careful and attention and smooth driving all along,pick up on time on where he dropped us off.Very helpful in many occasions although communications were through telephone translate,no hesitate to reccomend the operator of K look to friends if they need services.

I solo-traveled across Yunnan—Kunming, Dali, Lijiang & Shangri-La—and as someone with limited Mandarin knowledge and zero bandwidth to plan an itinerary, booking this trip through Klook was the absolute best decision! ​They took care of everything from end to end: seamless, on-time pick-ups & drop-offs, train, admissions & hotel booking . I appreciated the dedicated WeChat group coordination, where YiAn provided helpful updates on the weather & timely reminders for big activities like heading up to Shangri-La or visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Stripping away all the logistical stress lifted a massive mental load, allowing me to truly rest, recharge, & enjoy what was a much-needed break. ​I want to offer a very special commendation to Master Yang, who was my driver for the leg of the trip from Dali to Shangri-La. He went far and beyond his duties as a driver, seamlessly stepping in as an incredible local guide who introduced me to experiences I never would have discovered on my own.

We were extremely satisfied with this trip. The travel agency was very responsible and responded quickly; they also arranged special requests very promptly. All the luxury hotels we stayed in were very clean, and the soft furnishings were beautiful and antique. We were also particularly pleased with our driver, Master Li*Bao (Yun P93466). As a local, he has a deep understanding of Yunnan and was able to introduce us to various unique aspects of Yunnan and its ethnic minorities at any time. He was very friendly and enthusiastic. The commercial vehicle he drove was also very comfortable, and his driving skills were excellent; even though we had long journeys, we never felt uncomfortable. The daily schedule for attractions and outings was very reasonable. Overall, I would recommend the luxury private tour.

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.

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!

6 of us, 3 couples booked this 10 day tour and extended another 2 nights on our own in Lijiang. The local agent was very responsive and communication was good (via WeChat). Each city we went, we had a different guide/driver/bus. That's pure luck if you have a guide that you like. Overall, it was a good trip for us

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 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 Kunming

Quick snapshot of Kunming and what to expect

Kunming draws most bookings for parks & gardens, tours and attraction passes, with parks & gardens leading the way. Demand rises and falls through the year, so the city alternates between busy spells and much quieter months rather than staying constant.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows November as the busiest month and December as the quietest. Prices on Klook also peak in November and are typically lower through July to October, with the lowest typical prices seen in July. Because demand and prices both peak in November, visiting in December or July to October tends to give you smaller crowds and lower typical prices, while November offers the liveliest atmosphere at higher typical rates.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book fairly close to departure — typical Klook bookings are made about a day in advance, and many last-minute bookings happen within 24 hours, though some shoppers plan a few days earlier. If you want flexibility, many Kunming experiences can be arranged at short notice; if you’re travelling in November, consider securing popular tours and tickets a few days ahead to avoid sold-out dates.
