The best tour in China
Our 8-day China trip was nothing less than spectacular. The scenery was beautiful, the people were nice, and the food was delicious.

A good family itinerary. Our children loved the Great Wall, while we preferred the Forbidden City and the Bund.

We had enough free time to explore cafés and shops on our own. I might add one more evening activity, but the lighter schedule was also refreshing.

A lovely mother-daughter trip. Beijing was fascinating and our evening by the Shanghai waterfront was one of our favorite memories.

Reliable service throughout. Pickups were on time, vehicles were clean and there were no sales stops disguised as sightseeing.
