15D14N Yunnan Trip - a fabulous experience!

We had an amazing trip and on behalf of all my trip mates, I would like to thank Hannah from Asia Odyssey sincerely for going through a lengthy liaison with me before the trip to plan a comprehensive itinerary. This was also carried out very smoothly when we were in Yunnan, thanks to our two guides Frank & Nancy - they’re amazing guides who are professional and very knowledgeable, helping us take plenty of great pictures and videos too. Frank was always patient with us, trying his best to attend to all our needs. Nancy was always thinking several steps ahead of us, recommending us special places with superb food for us to try and arranging for the food to be prepared and cooked so it would all be ready just as we reached so as to save time. Our driver 何师傅 was fabulous as well, always helping us with our luggage and offering friendly snippets of advice. We really appreciated how he drove our luggage all the way from Kunming to Dali and then from Lijiang all the way back to Kunming - this saved us A LOT of trouble and time lugging our huge suitcases on and off the train. A huge thank you to whoever from the company who contributed to this arrangement too
