A China Experience

For a brief introduction to China or for visitors with limited time available, our China Experience tour is the perfect choice as it covers the essentials of China in one concise and memorable programme. Visiting such icons as the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai, the Terracotta Warriors in Xian as well as the Great Wall and Forbidden City in Beijing, we also have time to explore the charming, ancient canal town of Wuzhen.

TOUR ITINERARY

"We have just returned from a 10 day China Experience Tour and we just wanted to pass on our thanks for an outstandingly organised and operated tour. We tend to be independent travellers, but this time opted for an organised tour because we felt this was the best way to have a quick look at China. It was a wise choice. We couldn't fault any aspect of the tour and crammed in heaps.

The tour was certainly value for money, exceeding our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised by how little additional money we had to spend. The food provided was not only delightful, but most generous in servings. We particularly wanted to pass on our thanks to your national guide Savana Wei. She was brilliant, nothing was a bother and she worked very very hard to make our trip memorable. Her command of English, energy and sense of humour make her a valuable resource indeed.

So all in all, a brilliant little holiday, made so much better by the terrific organisation, itinerary and the skills of Savana Wei."
