Tour guide: When planning the trip, I inquired with several travel companies, specifically asking if they had female guides. Klook recommended Sister Mei to us, saying that customers who had been with her thought she was exceptionally good. So, after comparing several options, we embarked on a five-day, four-night journey with Sister Mei as our driver. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei turned out to be a fantastic guide – patient, meticulous, conscientious, and responsible. She took everyone's feelings into account and took care of us without us having to say much. Sister Mei thoughtfully prepared fruits, snacks, and local delicacies for us. She never rushed us, cared about whether we were warm enough, and demonstrated excellent driving skills on difficult roads. I knew choosing a female driver and female guide wouldn't be a mistake!

We did a day trip around Dali and had a really great time with our guide. He was friendly, easygoing, and very knowledgeable, which made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. He was also super punctual, accommodating, and always happy to help with anything we needed.
What we really appreciated was how flexible he was. He even let us stop spontaneously for strawberry picking and a quick horse ride along the way. As long as we stayed on the same route and got back on time, he was totally fine with it. We felt well taken care of and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Dali!

The experience of this trip was very pleasant, and I will definitely come back. After all, Yunnan is such a beautiful place that it would be impossible to see everything in just one visit. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the tour. One of the main advantages of joining a guided tour is that everything is taken care of for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything. The itinerary includes all the major attractions, and the meals served on the tour bus are decent, with good flavors and plenty of food. The hotels are clean, comfortable, and relatively quiet, providing a good opportunity for rest throughout the trip. Breakfast is also excellent, and there is a different guide available at each location. Overall, I am very satisfied.

The [Dali Erhai Lake & Shuanglong One-Day Boat Tour] was magnificent! I received clear communication via WeChat, so I knew what to expect on the day of the activities. I was picked up at my homestay which was super convenient. The itinerary followed through as expected, but we did go overtime, though I didn't feel rushed throughout the day — it was an efficient tour to experience Dali and Erhai. Although I struggled a lot as the only english speaker, everyone was really kind and patient so I had a really enjoyable time. The price value is absolutely worth it, in my opinion. All the stops were a dream, but that last stop was a magical sunset bicycle (optional) ride at Panxiyuan, perfect way to end the day!
