We can help you explore Yunnan's diversity, its 26 different minorities, and the wonders of nature - mountains, lakes, glaciers, forests and blue skies. With experience in the area since 1996, we will take you away from the tourists to the REAL China, where you can experience the place and its people. With knowledgeable guides, who speak English and local languages, you can visit villages, markets, monasteries, mountains, farms, and grasslands. We visit families, enjoy the company of locals and share meals with Naxi, Yi and Tibetan families. Plus, if you like dogs, we have Lassie the guide dog to accompany you. Lijiang Guides offers native-English speaking guides as well as local Tibetan, Lisu, Yi and Naxi guides who speak English. Welcome to south-west China. « less

Having decided to explore Yunnan by ourselves, by the time we got to Lijiang we realised we wanted to have less of a touristy experience, so we contacted Keith at Lijiang Guides and he helped put together a nice package starting Lijiang then going to Tiger Leaping Gorge and Shangrila. With Keith and his team -including Jing in Shangrila -we... More

We booked Keith for 1,5 days. We spent half day in Li jiang old town and almost a full second day on a walking tour from Shuhe to Baisha villages. As a Westerner living for 7 years in Li jiang speaking Chinese and a bit of local Naxi dialect Keith provided us with great insight into the history and culture... More

We went with our family to Yunnan in 2012 and found Keith and his team at Lijiang Guides very professional. Keith is a great communicator and found us heavily discounted flights and made all the arrangements. In Lijiang, Wu and Sana were fantastic guides to introduce us to the place and give us great insights into the place, so we... More

Great expereince through Keith...he was on visa run, but there was no shortage of great experiences with his guide buddies. They showed us the local cuisine, gave us insights into the people and ethnicities, arranged a lunch with a lovely lady, Ms. Liu at her house, showed us around the old town and Baisha, and pointed us in the direction...

Have to confess, we are not the type of people to go with a guide, but for the very foreign China Keith proved to be far better than we ever imagined. Helpful pre-trip with advice, recommendations and tips, we felt very safe in his care. And what care . . . from moment we arrived we could relax because everything... More

We spent three days with Keith who designed for us a private trip from Lijiang to Shangri La. He speaks Chinese and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the country. We met prior to the trip and he took the time to ask us about our interests, likes and dislikes in order to design a perfectly suited journey. We boated on... More

We had a day with Keith of Lijiang Guides, and one day with Wu. Both excellent guides. Keith helped us really understand China and also gave us a pleasant introudction to rural life in the villages around Lijiang. We have lovely memories from this day, and from meeting locals. Keith really is awesome. We both recommend Keith and Ljiang Guides,... More
