I am solo traveller do you have join in group tours?

As for whether you will participate in the group tour, it depends on your booking date. We cannot guarantee that you will be booking a group tour, but we guarantee that any booking will open as scheduled.

How much will be the single supplement for own room?

How much per night if I want to come 1 or 2 days before the tour starts?

Your Explore Yunnan tour looks great. However, I do have a query about lunches and dinners, which are not included in the tour. How easy is it to get access to good fresh food for lunch and dinner on all days of the trip? And what would the approximate cost be?

Regarding your concerns about lunch and dinner, your tour guide will recommend local specialties and restaurants to you. And each meal costs approximately 80-150 Yuan.

I am a senior solo traveller interested to this Explore Yunnan tour. Please confirm the June 1st - 9th is a firm tour date.

We confirm the June 1st - 9th is a firm tour date. Once you are ready to proceed with your booking, please click on "Book Now" on the left side of the page.

What is available in the next few days for 8 days? Any discounts? How much? When is the next one available. How many people will there be?

This season is the off-season for Yunnan tourism, and the number of bookings is relatively small. There are currently no other bookings in the coming days, but you can make reservations at any time. No matter how many people there are, we will ensure that the group opens as scheduled.

The essence of Guilin tour was absolutely fantastic, and our tour guide Lily made it truly unforgettable. She is warm, knowledgeable, takes care of everything and responded to all questions and wishes. Lily shared fascinating insights about the region and local life. We experienced both the stunning nature and the local culture. From the scenic Li River cruise to exploring charming villages, everything was well-organized and relaxed. Lily even took us to some hidden spots away from the crowds. Highly recommended! If you're visiting Guilin, don't miss this tour with Lily!Show more

  Traveler•Written December 2025
  Is 10 days enough to cover all the major attractions in Yunnan or should I do more? I am more of a scenic person and not much of temples or historical.
- Truly China TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  The single supplement fee for a private room throughout the journey is listed on our website—you can check the specific amount on the tour product page for the April 18, 2026 departure.
- Truly China TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  If you arrive 1 or 2 days early, the additional accommodation cost is 400 RMB per night for a single room.
- Truly China TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  For a scenery-focused traveler like you, 10 days can cover Yunnan's major scenic spots (such as Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La, and Yuanyang Rice Terraces), but if you want to explore more leisurely or add spots like Tiger Leaping Gorge or Puzhehei, extending the trip by 2-3 days would be a better choice.
