During our stay in Dali we had the opportunity to make a daytrip with Henriette Buist, from China Minority Travel. My two sons of 6 years old were excited about being able to go on a boattrip, but we didn't know that also other adventurous ways of transport would follow. Perhaps I should not give away everything in this review,... More

We visited the authentic area's of Dali, with the transport, the temples, markets and clinics the local minority people also use. Far away from the busy touristic area's. If you want to see the real China this is your change. More

We are a family. We have teenagers and young children. Henriette could really get what we were looking for. The tour was "tailor made" and authentic.

We strongly recommend it. More

We did most of our trip without guides, but choose to have... More

Especially the narratives during... More

The day tour with Henriette was an exceptional experience for us. Henriette took us around Dali to the Xizhou market, a boat trip on the Erhai lake and visits to the surrounding villages. This may seem a standard tour but it definitely was not. Henriette has been living in Dali for quite some time and is very much involved in... More
