Free walking tours in Kunming

I had a very pleasant experience walking with Linxi around Kunming’s city center. Linxi is a lively, kind and funny person. She showed me a number of places that only a local’s eyes can spot. Definitely recommended.

This tour was the first ever tour I booked on GuruWalks and it really surprised me in a positive way. Linxi was so nice and really fun to talk to. It felt like a intimate experience and not like a forced, touristy one like big company's offer sometimes. Thanks to the wonderful impression Linxi made, I will definitely book more tours in other cities too!

Linxi was a thorough and consumate professional, showing us the heart of Kunming with earnestness and aplomb. I recommend the guide to anyone who would like to scratch at the surface of the city!

I had a wonderful time exploring Kunming with Linxi. ​Walking tours are my favorite pastime whenever arriving in a new city, and as a first-time traveler to Kunming embarking on a group motorcycle tour across Yunnan, having her as a walking guide to ease me into the city was the perfect start and welcome. I barely noticed the rain! ​What sets Linxi apart is her extensive local knowledge, her background as a language teacher, and her willingness to share her passions. She speaks excellent English which is clear, humorous, and easy to follow. I almost mistook her for being international. ​If you are interested in this city, local culture, or want a guide who can actually help you navigate the nuances of Mandarin, she is the perfect choice as she didn't laugh at my clumsy attempts . She is professional, punctual, and knowledgeable about her hometown. ​She gave me lots of useful tips on where to find local delicacies after the tour, which indicated to me that food is a favorite pastime here leaving me wanting to discover more. If she finds time between teaching and touring, I would like to take her culinary tour with the tasting option to also refine my Mandarin with some new words and phrases. ​Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kunming, especially if you value a guide with an understanding of linguistics & education and a passion for food. Thank you, Linxi!

Linxi has just started her guiding activity in Kunming and we were so lucky to be her first guests. She took us for a wonderfull tour arround Cui Lake, local Universities and bookshops. We took some coffee and had local food together. She was the first person in China who could tell us a lot of interesting things about the country in English. Her English is very good and she even speaks Spanish! Join her for guided tour :)
