9 days Ancient Town Tour

Top-notch agency. The trip went very well. The guides and drivers were very professional, helpful, accommodating, and flexible. Almost daily follow-up from the agency via chat. We will use this agency again next time.

We were 16 people from July 4 to 17, 2026, discovering China. A great program put together by CielChine and accompanied throughout the trip by a French-speaking guide, Olivier, who demonstrated perfect knowledge of his magnificent country, its history, its culture, and its traditions. He knew how to share his passion with a pedagogical approach. His patience, availability, kindness, and listening skills were unanimously appreciated by all the members of our group. With all his qualities, he knew how to make every visit lively, pleasant, and enriching, while ensuring the smooth running of our program. We will keep an excellent memory of this first discovery of China. CielChine: An agency to recommend and recommendable

A very successful first experience thanks to Ciel Yunnan with a well-structured itinerary, well-established timing in a group of 12 people. In each city visited, a guide was waiting for us and welcomed us with kindness. A special mention for our adorable and very interesting guide in Beijing who showed us this megacity with a sharp and humorous perspective. We recommend without hesitation.

As usual a wonderful experience traveling together with my family while touring China! Our 2nd time using the travel agent to assist us in getting everything booked hassle free for us! They have wonderful tour guides at different regions with deep knowledge on the history and explaining to us their local culture! This time while traveling Yunnan, we have Nancy as our guide for the majority of our tour! We have totally enjoyed it! They have also assigned the driver whom took care of us in the event the guide is not around!Will definitely travel with them again!

17 days trip between Yunnan, Chengdu and surroundings and Zhangjiajie. Perfect organization, they gave me valuable advice and helped me to build an itinerary taking into account my needs and what I wanted to see, at competitive prices compared to other estimates I had requested. The proposed hotels proved to be of excellent quality, as well as good both drivers and guides. As for my experience the opinion is clearly positive

Family trip with six, from Beijing to Xi’an to the rice fields of Yunnan: an exceptional experience. The agency has shown remarkable responsiveness and has been able to meet all our expectations perfectly. Guides, drivers, tours, activities and hotel selection: everything was perfectly organized. Zero stress, just fun from start to finish. We will leave without hesitation with Sky China to discover many more wonders.

Ciel Yunnan has organized the trip with guide and driver including plane and high speed train travel. This agency is very efficient, well organized with competent guides and drivers on site. Every step of the way, we were taken care of as soon as we arrived without delay and without any problems. Bookings for the hotels we had chosen, were in line with our expectations. The vehicles with driver for travel were very new and comfortable. The guides were very kind and perfectly attentive to our wishes on the program of the day.

Ciel Yunnan curated an absolutely unforgettable seven-day journey through Yunnan, combining spectacular sightseeing and booking all our boutique hotels, which were each full of character.
 Our meticulously crafted itinerary for six people started in Lijiang, where we explored Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Spruce Meadow, Blue Moon Valley, Black Dragon Pool Park and the Old Town of Lijiang. 

 Day two began with a Naxi cooking experience at Fancy’s, followed by a scenic drive to Shangri-La. There, we visited Turtle Mountain Temple and the Great Prayer Wheel before joining a lively Tibetan dance performance in the Town Square after a dinner of tasting yak meat and yak milk dumplings. 

 On day three, in the morning, we rode horses around Napa Lake, enjoying the vast and stunning landscape. We then visited the majestic Songzanlin Monastery at 3,300 meters. Oxygen cans are sold on the way, in case you experience altitude sickness. The hotel provides an oxygen machine for your nighttime comfort, which you can pay for via your Chinese social media app. For lunch, we were invited to an intimate home-cooked Tibetan meal with a local family, which gave us a wonderful insight into how locals live and eat. In the afternoon, we marvelled at the breathtaking vistas of Tiger Leaping Gorge. We opted to take the escalator down and up to avoid the 1,300 steps both ways! We woke up to a spectacular mountain backdrop on day four and embarked on a leisurely two-hour hike to soak in the high-altitude landscape. Arriving in Shaxi in the afternoon, we participated in a traditional tea ceremony and explored the quaint little streets and shops. Day five took us to Shibaoshan Mountain. The ride up to the grottoes is quite long. Don’t expect caves or grottoes, but rather carvings of Buddhist nature in the stone cliffs. Arriving in Dali after a local Bai lunch, we biked around Erhai Lake before exploring the vibrant streets filled with local snacks and shops. Our journey concluded in Kunming, where we wandered through Yuantong Buddhist Temple, Green Lake Park and the lively Zhaungxing Market, sampling a variety of unusual and delicious foods. Carrie, our tour guide, was exceptionally kind, attentive, knowledgeable and endlessly thoughtful. From ensuring our comfort at every step to helping with dinner orders and hotel arrangements, she made the trip seamless and truly memorable. Our driver, who drove us around in a comfortable, small bus, was equally careful and considerate, making us feel safe throughout our journey.
 It is a great time of the year to travel, as the skies are blue and it doesn't rain. It is fairly cold, so pack some warm underclothes and wind resistant, warm jackets. There are not too many tourists at this time of the year, so we didn't have to queue anywhere for long. Ciel Yunnan’s choice of locations, boutique hotels, and attention to detail was impeccable. The booking process was smooth, and our itinerary was thoughtfully adapted to our wishes prior to departure. We cannot recommend Ciel Yunnan highly enough.

This is our 2nd time engaging Horaelie and team to plan our trip and with a tour guide and driver throughout our journey. Our guide this round is Cathy, who is patient and attentive, paying attention to small details which delight us. Our stay Would be enhanced if she can recommend restaurant which most local will dine-in as we came with a small family this round . And also to pre-empt us the destination we will be going and what to expect so that we can make a decision if we should proceed or what to do next 😊👍
