We weren't really sure what to expect from this holiday, but it surpassed all possible expectations.
The tour was very intensive, and we saw so much of the Chinese culture, learned a lot of the history, and gained an insight into the ways of life of those in the cities, and of those in the countryside.
We covered an incredible distance, travelling by plane, bullet train, cruise ship and coach, but the organisation was impeccable and our national guide, Britany was absolutely amazing.
She was a fountain of knowledge, had incredible organisational skills, was attentive to the needs of every group member, and her standard of English was excellent. She seemed to intuitively know how much knowledge to impart to the group at any one time, without overloading them, and she had an excellent sense of humour. She called us "Britany's Family", and by the end of the trip we actually felt like a family.
We feel as if we saw all of the most important sights in the areas covered by our tour, but some of the days were very long. We were extremely lucky with the weather, and there were no days when it was too hot. Had it been so, the long, outdoor sightseeing days may have been uncomfortable. Many of the Chinese people use umbrellas as sunshades, and this may be worth bearing in mind if we return during the hotter months.
We were very impressed with all of the meals which were included in our tour. The food was plentiful, varied, colourful, and of good quality.
The hotels used were of excellent standard, and were very impressive. They were all situated in central locations which was very convenient.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Many thanks to Wendy Wu, and Britany.
