Review for Magnificent China
Vanessa and Zoe were very easy to deal with. They were very happy to explore any avenues we asked about. I talked you Ness on a public holiday so that’s good service. Thanks

Review for Classic China
We had a magical time in China made even better by our excellent guide Cynthia Miao. An unexpected part of the tour was the variety of food the guides chose which turned the tour into a gastronomical delight. Thank you Cynthia and local guides for ensuring a wonderful experience.

Review for Magnificent China
Our national tour guide was Mark Wong, he was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, always available to help with any issues. He made the trip the wonderful experience it was. He was the total professional.
Also Cherry one of the local guides (in the one of the photos below) was very good as well, her jokes made us all laugh.
So many highlights, like the Wall, the scenery around the Three Gouges, & the panda bears to mention a few. Great trip.

Review for Inspiring India
We are well traveled and found that Inspiring India was the best experience of escorted travel. The quality of accommodation, services, food and especially the people we encountered was second to none. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personalable, friendly, but not overly familiar, going the extra mile whenever required.

Review for Magnificent China
Absolutely fantastic, cram packed tour with so may contrasting places and experiences. Walking along the Great Walk and strolling round mountain tops where we stood above the clouds and looked down at the brown Yangtze where it met with its green tributaries. The deep crevices of the rift valley with its shafts of daylight poking through. We went under overhanging boulders and deep dark gorges. Such contrasting features.
We experienced the hustle and bustle of huge cities like Beijing and Shanghai and smaller towns like Guilin with a slower pace. We met Mr. Wong the fisherman, with his cormorants and asked him about his life, a way of life that's dying out as youngsters don't want to fish. They'd rather have city jobs.
I loved the .people's parks and the tea rooms with beautiful traditional music playing in one area and live singers backed by musicians in another part. Whilst visiting a rural settings just outside Guilin with its serene, tranquil, stunning scenery, we stumbled on a village wedding and were greeted with sweeties and peanuts as soon as we were spotted.
I will never forget the magnificent sight of the Terra-cotta army in their original burial sites and close encounters with a few of the warriors preserved in glass cases for closer inspection. And of course watching those lazy laid back pandas strolling around their grounds and leisurely climbing trees.
We went to four shows all very diverse and highly entertaining from the unique singing of the Beijing Opera, to the spectacular water show on the lake and then the jaw dropping acrobats and bikers in Shanghai.
Out on the streets and particularly in historic places, were lots of young ladies wearing stunning , traditional very evocative of a traditional Chinese culture. They were very beautiful.
There was so much more to see but I've already written more than I probably should.
Our tour guide, Alice was very professional with all the qualities necessary to keep us well fed, entertained, safe and well informed. She, along with Wendy Wu made this a trip of a life time. I loved every cram packed minute and crave those delicious banquet meals.
