Amazing tour in Yunnan, for 8 days

Thoroughly enjoyed our Yunnan tour in Kunming! Our guide Janet was very informative, patient and attentive to our needs. We learned a lot about the sites we visited and the history of the Yunnan province from her. Lunch was good. We felt very safe as our driver was very careful through the traffic. Highly recommend, 10/10!!!
