Fully customized, flexible schedule, private guide & driver · We Guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops!
Over 3 days, 3-Day Kunming Essentials Private Tour links Arrival in Kunming with Stone Forest, taking in Green Lake and Historic Kunming along the way. Meet your private guide at the airport or railway station, transfer to the hotel and take an optional orientation walk through Kunming Old Street. Kunming sits around 1,900 metres; Green Lake and the old city are compact walks, while the Stone Forest is a separate karst park where the main loop takes about 2–4 kilometres. Travel privately to the UNESCO-listed Stone Forest and follow a scenic route among dramatic limestone pinnacles with your local guide. Try crossing-the-bridge rice noodles or a flower cake near the market, then read the Yi legends behind the limestone formations with a local guide. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on a focused private journey with a balanced daily rhythm. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.
