          Great Tour, great organisation, quick response, good accommodation!
          We had a tailormade itinerary of Kunming and Lijiang done for us. They accommodated our every request and in quick time. We had a 2am pick-up at the airport and our assigned guide came with the driver. The guides assigned at both places were very knowledgeable and super patient. Our Lijiang guide was super enthusiastic too. Hotels recommended were of good quality, included dinners were of good quality and our guides would go through our dietary requirements with us. This was our 2nd trip to Yunnan. As with all planning, there were the odd glitches here and there but the thing is, they were attended to and rectified and in quick time. Kudos to Katherine of Wonders o fYunnan for organising this for us!

          Wonders of Yunnan Travel services were professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and reliable.
          We had a wonderful time traveling from Shangrila to Kunming. Katherine at Wonders of Yunnan Travel helped us put together a beautiful itinerary. All the guides were very knowledgeable and proactive, and the drivers safe and reliable. We would certainly recommend them and use them again for our China travels.

          Great experience with friendly guides/drivers for our 8 day tour of Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangrila and Meili
          Great and pleasant experience overall with Katherine carefully listening to our needs and arranging a bespoke itinerary for me and my family. She was patient and got all our requirements done including hikes, hotels, transportation and guides. Uniquely managed to capture the feel of what we were asking for and delivered a curated package that suited us well. She was able to show off and cover all the highlights of the area within the 8 days given. Timing and coordination was set up well with drivers and guides smoothly ensuring all worked to schedule - to even learning and catering to our idiosyncrasies! (We are not early morning people!) She even arranged local guides from the minority tribes and we were able to become friends - making this a personalized holiday. Pricing wise, reasonable compared to other companies and we got our money worth. Well done!

          Private driver transfer services
          Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) completed our tour of Liliang and Shangrila! This would not have been possible without the help of Katherine and her team of drivers. I engaged Wonders of Yunnan for private driver transfers between Lijiang and Shangrila and Katherine was super prompt and patient with our queries and changes in itinerary. She attended to our WeChat questions very promptly even on Sunday too! Amazing service attitude! The drivers were punctual and rides were comfortable.

          All is well. Great tour.
          We took a 9-day tour with this company and opted to go without a tour guide since we spoke a little Mandarin. Katherine was a tremendous help in organizing our trip. The recommended places have great views such as Shangri-La, Snow Jade Mountain and Jade Lake Village, Lijiang. We had an amazing experience, despite some hectic train arrangements during the middle of our journey. Everything was managed well in the end by Katherine. Our family were really grateful for Katherine's help. However, I highly recommended to opt for full tour without travelling via train to prevent hassle. In addition to that, request for a tour guide if you are not a local, as this will save you time and relieve the anxiety of obtaining entrance tickets to certain tourist attractions.

          I chose Wonders of Yunnan after having contact with other agencies. Thanks to Katherine's help we created the most suitable trip for us. We had two drivers who were both very good and helpful. We spent 21 days visiting Yunnan and will certainly contact this agency again if we return to China to visit other areas.

          Amazing Yunnan Province Tour
          We had a lovely tour with Wonders of yunnan. We did 8 day tour that included Kunming, Dali, Linjiang, and Shangri-La. We were 3 people: myself, my husband and our adult daughter. We enjoyed our time very much, the guides were good & spoke well. We especially loved Victor (Kunming) & Betsy (Shangri-La). Linda in Dali was a lot of fun too and really helped out with a hotel issue. This was our first trip to China & Katherine at the office made it very very easy! She was attentive & even though our booking was somewhat last minute, we were able to stay & see everything we had agreed to ahead of time. She adjust the itinerary for our needs to. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

          Top travel experience in Tibet
          My 6-days trip to Tibet was unforgettable and wouldn't have been the same without the continuous support of Katherine. I had the chance to witness the beauty of Potala, to attend the philosophy debate between the monks, visited several important monasteries, experience the peace of Namtso Lake and I had lunch with a local family, just to mention a few memories. Top experience 🇨🇳

          Great guide
          The natural wonders were incredible but our guide was really supportive of our enjoyment, taking us through quite areas where we could appreciate the stones without the noise and hub bub of the mass of photographers. Authentic place for lunch serving plentiful amounts of tasty local food. Was a great day out

          The best company to organize your holidays in China
          Recently I have visited with my wife Guangxi, Guizhou and Hunan Regions for 10 days. Specifically we have been in Guillin, Yangshuo, Xingping, Tongren, Fanjing Mountain, Fenghuang, Furong anf Zhangjiajie. What an amazing holidays we have enjoyed these days. As we did in 2019, where we visited Yunnan Region, we have entrusted again Wonders of Yunnan the organization of our holidays. All I can say is that they are absolutely phenomenal. They help us with all transportations with driver, entrance tickets, suggestions, etc,,, Everything ran perfect without any single issue. They are very professional. For sure I will recommend this company to anyone who would like to visit China in the future. They will not regret it. In my case I hope I could visit China again in the future for the 3rd time and book with them their services again. From here I would like to thank Kaylee for her big support helping me with holidays organization and for supporting me all the time in Skype with all my questions and doubts. you did an outstanding job By the way, what an amazing and beautiful country is China, what an amazing landscapes, towns and great people. Looking forward to return soon.

          8 days in Tibet with Wonders of Yunnan
          I contacted WOY for an 8-day group tour to Tibet. My agency contact Katherine immediately sent us the programme and all the necessary information for the trip. Katherine also helped us obtain the necessary visa for a stay in China of more than 15 days. The Chinese consulate in our country asked us for more documents to obtain it and Katherine did everything she could to help us. She was extraordinary, answering our messages at all hours of the day and night, and helped us when we encountered some difficulties. The tour in Tibet went wonderfully, everything according to the schedule. The guide was very good and professional, the accommodation chosen excellent, the group of participants wonderful. Thanks to WOY, we had an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend this agency for reliability, seriousness and professionalism. Many, many thanks ti Katherine! Top!
