Reviews
Overall, it was a great trip. We were very satisfied with the communication before departure and the entire trip. The accommodation for the first three days was a pleasant surprise. Especially our driver, Master Lu, who has good driving skills, is punctual and reliable. He introduced the attractions and some local customs along the way. He gave suggestions on the itinerary and helped us coordinate the travel time according to our travel preferences, so that we could enjoy the trip to the greatest extent. The recommended restaurants were also very delicious. He ensured the safety and smoothness of our trip all the way. The only regret is Balagzon. Although the hotel service is also very good, the overall positioning is very different from the first three days, and the scenic spot itself is also unsatisfactory. If this part can be improved, it will be a full score route.
Overall, I was satisfied with this trip. The customer service responded to and solved all the problems throughout the trip, and the connection was very good. First of all, I would like to emphasize that the driver, Mr. Lu, who picked us up was very good. He was very responsible and punctual throughout the trip, and his attitude was very serious. The car was very clean inside and out. He also explained the local customs and provided suggestions along the way, which made us feel very relieved. In addition, our guide in and out of Yubeng was also very simple and enthusiastic, picking us up one by one on the uphill and downhill to ensure safety; the hotel arrangements throughout the trip were also very satisfactory, especially the wild language in Yubeng was very good. The last hotel also gave a good solution because of the variety show change, which was very good.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Huang Jie was our guide, and she was incredibly dedicated and responsible. She showed us many worthwhile sights along the way, and she's a very safe driver. She was always waiting for us at our destinations, helping us with our luggage. She's a reliable and excellent leader! The scenery on this trip was also absolutely amazing. We saw the "Golden Mountain" of sunlight on the Meili Snow Mountains. The trekking guide was also very helpful, and we even rode bikes in the high-altitude area. It was a very fulfilling trip!
The trip was very comfortable and smooth. The leader, Brother Pang Jin, took great care of us along the way. Starting from picking us up at the airport, he drove for us while introducing us to the local culture, customs, key points of scenic spots and precautions. It made our journey very relaxing and enjoyable. The hotels were also very good. The Yeyu Phase II, which was temporarily changed, exceeded our expectations and we liked it very much.
This trip was exciting and happy. I was reluctant to leave. Before the trip, the travel agency staff strongly recommended that we choose a period with particularly good weather. The driver, Mr. Lu, was also very helpful. He talked and laughed along the way and explained a lot of local customs and practices. It ended successfully. I will come again next time! Recommend this route!
A very good luxury trip. The professional driver picked us up on time and gave simple explanations along the way to introduce the attractions and culture. We were led into Yubeng Village by a local guide who was not only professional but also responsible. The whole trip was very comfortable. Thanks to the Klook platform for its arrangement and planning, which is highly recommended to everyone.
It was my first time using Klook's service. The itinerary was well planned. My child had altitude sickness in Shangri-La, so we immediately re-planned the itinerary to Dali for the next three days. The local guide, Mr. Huang, was warm and friendly, and the service was very meticulous. I will come again if I have the chance.
The driver was great, but it was rainy all the way, and the hiking nylon was even more intense. If it didn't rain, the experience would be much better. I didn't see the golden mountain in the sun, I will continue next time.
