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

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

I decided to go with Keith after seeing such good reviews and recommendations on sites like this, and in all honesty have to say it was a good decision, as I really enjoyed his company, his knowledge and insights, as well as his care. He put together a great 2 days for me, taking into account the things I wanted... More

We spent a couple of days with Keith in and around Lijiang, and we both agree, it was the best part of our China trip. Not only does Keith show you around the places you would never find yourself, he is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the area and its variety of nationalities. Thoroughly recommended. More

You really have a much better experience if you use Keith for a day or two to take you to villages, the mountains, lakes, monasteries. And for most places, no other tourists around. More

I have been to China Twice now in 2007 and 2009-2010. Both times i have been guided by Keith, Wu and Lassie. We went all over China, including Tibet, Inner Mongolia , Beijing , Kunming, Shangri-la ,Chengdu, Dali and many other places including Liijiang in Yunnan province. I can honestly say that if it had not been for Keith, Lassie... More

We spent an unforgettable day "off the baten track" with Keith by the beginning of November. He's extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. We definitely recommend him! More

Our only complaint about using Keith at Lijiang Guides is that we only had him for 3 days. We really should have got him to arrange everything for us from hotel, transport, etc through to restaurants, as when he took us around, everything worked out perfectly. We visited villages around Lijiang, the old towns, and even went into people's houses,... More

In the middle of 2011, with our young children, we toured around Yunnan and into Sichuan with Keith at Lijiang Guides. As anyone who has traveled in China will know, it is not an easy place to travel, and especially if you have a young family. BUT Keith provided guidance and reassurance the whole way, in fact from when we... More

We planned a trip of a lifetime to China, and while visiting the cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an was good, we had our best time in Yunnan, with Keith at Lijiang Guides. Both me and my two friends - all in our 40s - found Keith to be the best guide we'd come across, in all our travels. He... More

We contacted Keith a few days before, after coming across various recommendations for him online and through another couple who were staying at our guesthouse in Dali. From first contact through to final goodbyes, very professional and friendly, and very good service in answering all our questions. And actual day hike was really good, taking us to out of the...
