Fantastic 5.0
this was hands down the best experience of our trip Cus of our driver Adong! he was humorous, reliable, honest, acted as a mini tour guide and provided exceptional service. we travelled from lijiang to shangrila and requested to stop at tiger leaping gorge. the tour company representative was happy to suggest additional stops along the way so we could maximise the experience. when we told Adong our itinerary for the next day he suggested swapping things around which was a great suggestion that saved us time and money. if you are thinking of heading the same route, would suggest that you ask the driver (request for Adong!) to bring you to Napa grassland instead of the old town (the company’s original suggestion). since you are on the road half the day, the driver really makes a difference, and I’m very thankful we got assigned to Adong!

It was very satisfying! We were happy throughout the trip because the scenery was beautiful. We were really satisfied with the past two days of the journey. The driver was very kind and allowed us to stop whenever we saw good spots for photos and videos. bestt service!

An amazing day in Dali! Our driver didn't just take us from point A to point B; they shared great local insights and suggested some wonderful spots for photos and food that we wouldn't have found on our own. Very friendly and professional service

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.

Our driver made our Yunnan trip absolutely exceptional. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the journey, always patient and attentive to our needs. Beyond just driving, he gave us fantastic recommendations for places to visit that weren't in any guidebook including introducing the historical context. He also went the extra mile by checking weather conditions daily with his fellow drivers, and based on that, he proactively advised itinerary changes to make sure we caught the best scenic views at the right time.. He was also very proactive about advising us on how to prepare for the 4000m high altitude, which really helped us acclimatize comfortably. The biggest highlight was his flexibility—when he realized our train departure on the last day was much earlier, he reworked our itinerary on the spot so we could still enjoy a full morning without any stress. Reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind—we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!"

The four-day, three-night trip to Yubeng was tiring but fulfilling. The first night was in Feilai Temple, and we had good weather, saw the starry sky, and were lucky enough to see the sun shining on Meili Snow Mountain. In the three days in Yubeng, we walked nearly 40km. Here I want to thank the guide, Zhaxi, for his leadership and encouragement, which helped me and my partner persevere. Yubeng Village is indeed beautiful and worth the trip. Maybe I will come again in the future.

I think I was extremely fortunate to join this tour. If you want to experience the wonders of northern Yunnan, including trekking along Hutiaoxia (tiger leaping gorge), marvelous Shangrila temples, golden dawn of Meili mountain, this is the must-go trip. I have travelled Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Luoyang, Dongbei region, Xiamen and Quanzhou, even Xinjiang, this was the best trip so far in China. I am also very grateful to the tour organizer for arranging very nice hotels with limited budget. I was able to communicate with the guide with my limited Chinese, so it is better to make sure you are accompanying with an English speaking guide or tour participants ahead of time. But I think if you have a wechat account, you will be able to communicate with the guide anyhow. Thank you Yang Shifu!

This trip was very enjoyable, and we'd like to extend a special thank you to our driver. The hotels he arranged for us were comfortable and conveniently located, making the entire journey much more relaxed and smooth. What's even more commendable is his flexibility in adjusting the itinerary based on actual circumstances, promptly handling any changes to ensure our travel experience remained consistently excellent. Furthermore, he was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. He not only provided us with a lot of help during the trip but also filled the entire journey with joy and warmth. We had an unforgettable travel experience.
