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.

My first time booking a private customized 5-day tour to Shangri-La, Yunnan with Klook was an absolutely amazing experience! Because I really wanted to visit Lugu Lake, the tour designer not only planned a super reasonable itinerary but also specifically selected hotels and activities that perfectly matched my needs. Our driver, Mr. Zhang, was very reliable, driving steadily and knowing the roads well, making us feel completely safe throughout the trip. The most stunning part was the hike through the Baima Snow Mountain Forest Ranch. Our guide took us to his family's ranch, where the meadows and wildflowers beneath the snow-capped mountains were incredibly beautiful, even in the rain. I'll definitely go back for a second visit. The accommodations also exceeded my expectations. The newly added hotels, "Bandu" and "Qianshanji," were fantastic. Whether it was the design, comfort, or service, they truly impressed me. I'll likely choose Klook's private tours again next time!

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!

1) Pick-up and Drop-off Arrangement: The vehicle, travel time, and pick-up/drop-off locations were well-arranged. 2) Itinerary Arrangement: The itinerary was clear and simple. In case of any issues, the Klook team's guide and driver were able to respond immediately and share information. 3) Time Management: There was ample time for sightseeing and lunch. The management of shuttle buses, cable cars, and each time point at the attractions was clear. 4) Support Services: Water, oxygen cylinders, and warm clothing were prepared, ensuring peace of mind. 5) The Klook team staff were attentive, friendly, and diligently arranged all the itinerary details.

The driver was very kind and helpful. She gave great descriptions of where to go, despite the language barrier for myself and others in the group. Communication was clear via wechat which meant we were on time to see all attractions on the itinerary. She provided warm jackets so we were comfortable exploring in the mountains. Really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see Yulong Mountain!

Had a really smooth and well-coordinated trip 👏 Highly Recommended! From the start, Xiaozhou managed everything efficiently—clear itinerary details and even arranged hotel pickup for a small additional fee (60 yuan), which made things more convenient. The day before the trip, the driver/guide Xie Shou followed up with very clear instructions. Pickup was punctual at 5:35am. We were especially impressed that the team secured early tickets to ascend Yulong Snow Mountain by 7:30am (up to 4,506m). We descended by 8:30am—the higher climb to 4,680m was closed due to heavy snow the day before, making conditions slippery and unsafe. Next stop was Blue Moon Valley—transfer was seamless, we arrived around 9:20am, spending about an hour. After that, lunch was provided (simple pork hotpot with rice and vegetables). It was decent, though there’s definitely room for improvement. We then headed to the Impression Lijiang at 1:30pm, which wrapped up the experience nicely before returning to the hotel around 3:30pm.

A must-visit when in Yunnan! In my opinion, joining a day trip like this is enough to explore Shangri-la and experience the Tibetan vibes. At Tiger Leaping Gorge (TLG), you can choose to take the stairs or an escalator for 70 RMB, and at Napahai, you can go horse riding for 160 RMB, which includes a costume. All other costs are included in the day trip fee. Use promo code MELISAKLOOK for an 8% discount.

Master Shen is reliable and meticulous. The equipment he arranged was complete, and he constantly reminded us of precautions. Lanyue Valley is beautiful and great for photos. Although there was some altitude sickness when ascending Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, fortunately, Master Shen had us bring an extra oxygen tank beforehand, so we still successfully climbed to 4591 meters. Highly recommended!

The seating arrangement in the VIP area was excellent, with complimentary sun hats and bottled water provided before entry. The performance, designed by Zhang Yimou, featured performers in ethnic minority costumes, creating a beautiful spectacle. The only downside is that it's a matter of luck, as it's an open-air theater, and a heavy rain would significantly detract from the experience.
