This tour offered great value. The small group meant we got personal attention from the guide. The bullet train experience was a highlight, and the hotels were all very comfortable.
We had a wonderful time exploring China's top cities. The flights and bullet trains were very punctual. The guide was very knowledgeable about each destination's history and culture.
I chose this tour because it included all the transport, and it was stress-free. We saw so much in 12 days. The small group made it easy to make friends and enjoy the journey together.
