Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on 5472 reviews

Review for BEIJING & XIAN SHORT STAY (SUPERIOR)
Service rating : Excellent service, everything was well organised for our group which made for a stress-free experience. The local Guides were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble for them. I did find the experience of having to tip the guides personally rather uncomfortable and would have been happy for this to be paid for in advance as part of the holiday cost.
Product : Both hotels were excellent and the facilities and meals were perfect for our needs. The tours were outstanding and the local guides were always on hand to explain the history and the culture. A truly amazing and unforgettable experience which I would hope to repeat.

George was exceptional in his care of us all, nothing was too much trouble, he genuinely cared that we were having a great holiday. His knowledge and that of the local guides at each province gave us great insight into the history of the location and various sightseeing spectacles we were there to see.

From my passion and knowledge of my country, you will experience a cross-cultural charm, full of stories and laughter on tour with me. You will be left with great memories and knowledge of China.

The success of this tour was due largely to our wonderful National Escort, Amanda, who guided our small “family” throughout and made this trip a "holiday of a lifetime". If you have the opportunity, try to arrange for Amanda to be your Tour Manager!
