Magnificent "tailor-made" trip of all the essentials of China - We would like to warmly thank the agency Sky China / Sky Yunnan who perfectly organized our first trip to China and accompanied us with great professionalism and dedication during our "Road Trip" through these many regions. Cindy and Marc perfectly adapted to our requests by adjusting the whole organization to our many requirements to get the "tailor-made" trip we were hoping for. We would also like to thank all the Francophone guides and especially Diane and Yumpo, who made us discover with passion each of the regions visited and who coordinated perfectly with the drivers to offer us a route without any delay and at our own pace. China, although very welcoming and organized, remains complicated to organize on site, and the valuable help of the Sky China team for transportation (Metro, Train, Bus, Air, Boat...) as well as in the choice of Hotels, Things to do and Guides seemed indispensable to us to be able to optimize, before and on site, a trip of this type. The young and old of our group (there were nine of us, with children and grandparents!) thank you for these incredible memories and for these beautiful images that will remain engraved.

Fantastic!!! Very professional!!! - We booked a tour mot Ciel Yunnan from Lijiang via Shangri-la, to Dali (Lijiang, Gorge du Saute de Tigre, Shangri-la, Shaxi, Dali). The preparations have gone absolutely smoothly. Very professional! Yan Xia (Léo) has embedded our individual plans well into the overall program. Communication went in French, all very professional. Payment went via credit card and bank transfer, also everything worked out well. Our driver, Mr. He was extremely punctual, drove very carefully and professionally'. We were traveling with two children (8 and 10 years) and the rides, program and Things to do were exciting, varied and interesting. We were very positively impressed by everything!! Although there are extremely many tourists on the road in China and this can kill you a bit, the trip was organized in such a way that we did not feel crushed by mass tourism. The selection of hotels was great, the location unique! We originally had Nuodeng on the itinerary. Since the village was closed due to construction work, we had to change plans at short notice. Communication with Mark and Leo regarding this was flawless and our evasion program was unique! Thank you! We had also changed some original plans during the trip itself, but Mr. He embedded this wonderfully in the trip! Thank you!! In short: everything went perfectly! Tip for all travelers to China: Alipay and WeChat are a must in China. Without this zwri app nothing runs... including communication with Mr. He mainly took place via WeChat. Works perfectly (except that everything is in Chinese, but deepl or googletranslate can help). Thanks to the whole Ciel Yunnan team for this unforgettable trip!!!
