It was well arranged and communicated via Wechat. The drivers were very friendly and helpful. And the staff who organized and coordinated the trip were always on top of things and followed up on the details before, during and after the trip. The view is amazing even though it rained in the morning. We enjoyed the trip.

Each part of this activity was a incredible, especially the Impression Lijiang show. Very mpressive! And the service provided by this company was superb.

Our guide Colin looked after us exceptionally well. He was informative and full of good stories about the area and local people. He made sure we knew what was next on the days schedule and didn’t rush us. Plenty opportunities to take photos and rest. The sun shone all day and although it was a long day we thoroughly enjoyed it all.
