  • R

    Ross

    Asked on June 17th, 2024

    We are interested in "Yunnan Highlights 14D" by Silk Road Trips. They have daily departures. Does this mean that it is not an escorted group tour? We would travel ourselves from city to city and then be met by a local guide? There are choices of hotels. Is the final price only determined once we have selected the hotels?

    Tour Details
    • Silk Road TripsOperatorWritten June 2024

      The tour is based on minimum of 2 people. The tour guides are local guides in each city, not fully escorted. Hotels listed are for reference, not for choosing.
