What do people say after the tour?
The trip, guides, and itinerary were excellent…
The trip was incredible. We had a great time.
It was a fabulous adventure. I would do it all again!
The itinerary. It hit the main UNESCO sites in just 9 days, and ran from a Saturday to a Sunday so that only 1 week of time needed to be taken off work. It would have been nice to visit more areas and stay longer—there are other tours for that–but the extra time wasn’t an option for me then.
The must-see attractions are seen efficiently and with minimal hassle. No waiting for buses, no standing in line for tickets, no trying to figure things out in a foreign language. Someone else does all the grunt work.
Hotels are all pre-selected 5-star hotelsand feature comforting amenities. I adored the buffet breakfasts, which included plenty of fresh fruit as well as dim sum and other local delicacies but also American bacon-and-eggs and made-to-order omelette options.
A guide/”local friend” shows you around, teaches you how to bargain, and reminds you to be careful of pickpockets. The guide fills you in on history and traditions and provides insight into their country. Ours answered questions that allowed us a glimpse into their daily life. Tour guides must get relicensed each year and so do keep up on changes and provide current information.
The tour bus. I would call it a mini-bus. It had plenty of room, big windows, and was easy in and out. I really dislike smaller vans.
The hand-holding. I know I would not like to visit China my first time on my own. A tour is a must.
The exercise. I expected a tour of China to be exhausting. So much is crammed into each day that I would fall exhausted into a deep sleep each night.
The price. I think the price for the air, hotels, admissions, guide, bus, and most meals is a real bargain.
