This walking tour is the perfect way to explore Kunming and get familiar with the history. The guide was especially friendly and informative and I could tell she really cared about offering a memorable and meaningful experience. The tour felt personal and intimate and I even made some new friends. I definitely recommend it to anyone, whether you’re visiting this city for the first time, or if you just want something fun to do for a couple of hours.
We have enjoyed a wonderful tour with Heather! Thank you so much again, Dioni and Heather, for being so spontaneous and offering this amazing tour to us. Thanks to you we (Chinese-German couple) now have a new favorite city in China and will definitely come back.
Thank you Raphael and partner for being our early guests. It was such a delight for being able to walk with you and show the unique facets of this city. If you come back again please get in touch. Perhaps we'll get to Kunming Walk 2.0 by then. ;)
