I spent 8 days in the company of Sunny from ScheduleNGo on a tour of southern Yunnan province. Visiting such places as the Stone Forest, the World Heritage listed rice paddies of Honghe, tea plantations and the Water Splashing Festival. Sunny was very attentive, informative and a safe driver. Very well versed in the cultural and geographic features of every place we visited. Knew all the best little local restaurants and street food hang outs. Also tailored my trip to make sure my personal interest (Pu-Ehr tea) was catered to I can't wait to do another tour with ScheduleNGo. Highly recommend this company!

This was our second time to Yunnan province and our first time to Dali and this tour made us fall in love with Dali! We were staying in kunming for a 3 day weekend and decided to go to Dali for the day, this tour gives you all it promises and more. It was very easy to book and communicate with the company via WeChat. Even though it was a holiday and we only gave them a few hours notice (not to mention the middle of a pandemic) they arranged everything quickly and hassle free. Everything from that day (from leaving our hotel room in the morning to returning to our hotel at night) was extremely simple thanks to the tour company. Our tour guide, Linda, was the best tour guide we have ever had! She helped us with everything and showed us the real Dali, her English is extremely good so make sure you ask for Linda if you go! Even though we already did this trip, we would definitely do it again without hesitation! Also the lunch is absolutely out of this world, make sure you choose the traditional Dali Chinese food option it is so good and let's you taste real traditional local food.
