We did a 22 day tour over the main highlights of China including Tibet.China Tours held our hand every step of the way. There were no problems that were not solved. I can’t say enough about how much fun we had and how great the many tour guides were. Highly recommend using China tours for those interested. Note we are mid 60’s USA citizens. - Maria D wrote a review 9 June 2024
Guilin and YangshuoWe were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional organization. Everything was perfectly tailored to our wishes. Our guide and driver were exemplary—punctual, polite, and incredibly attentive. The guide enriched our journey with fascinating stories about the area and its customs, and he was always available to assist us in any situation. The breathtaking beauty of Guilin and Yangshuo left us in awe. If we have the chance, we will definitely return to China for another adventure and will undoubtedly reach out to your agency for its planning. - Greg wrote a review 8 June 2024Paris, FranceTrip to Xi’AnThe team was very professional and available at anytime in the planning stage of the trip, very willing to accommodate custom tours, we booked our own hotel for example.
