Yunnan - Recommend Tour Agency for 8-10 days - KunmingDaliLijiangShangri-La
My wife and I are looking for a reliable and ethical travel agency for an
8-10 day tour around Yunnan. As my wife speaks fluent Chinese, we could probably due well on our own, booking flights and making local travel arrangements for tours/sights, etc. We have done this and it is tiring when you must stick to a schedule. So my question is the following: Can anyone recommend travel agents, either in Yunnan province or otherwise, that can provide a tour to the destinations above or will I really be better off making my own bookings? We have been to the Stone Forrest before, so our Kunming part of the tour would leave us to enjoy the city. losing whatever value the tour agency places on taking you there along with all the tea farm visits and local cure-all medicine institutes. I see at least two airline reservations (KMG-DLU) and (LJG-KMG) and hotels every evening. Except for incidentals there would also be the entry fees, tours and local transport. Should we do this on our own or is this trip best left to an agent? Thanks. rg |

Thanks. rg KMG, DLU, LJG all 3 places are extremely touristy you will have no problem with public transport to and from these 3 particular cities. some recommended hotels or lodgings have a big board listing extensive tourist services. i booked an internal flight [DLU-CAN] while in KMG myself at the official government ticket issuing agency. just a case of filling out a couple of forms. didn't visit any tea farm but saw them from the bus. incredidble and stunning tea terraces that don't seem to end, one village after another, after another... for days on end. |

Hope she dumps your dumb ass. |
