Hi! Here is my feedback on the tour. Overall, it was an amazing trip for my clients, very well organized and fully supported! On-site logistics were great, except for our arrival in Shanghai where the driver was an hour late and we got a different person instead of our guide. But that was just a one-off thing at the beginning; everything else was fine (I let Jennifer know!). The car transfers were super comfortable, and we loved the touch of having water and snacks ready. The guides were incredibly helpful, literally taking us by the hand to make sure we got on the right trains. They were so friendly, provided personalized service, and were always open to changes. It was awesome that we could choose the style of food and places for the included meals. Their English was good (some completely fluent!), and they used translators instantly if needed. They made us feel safe and never forced any activity. Also, the tour selection was perfect for a first taste of China, and ending early gave us free time to explore. Regarding hotels, they left a bit to be desired (about a 3.2/5 rating, haha), though most were okay except for the first one in Beijing. You should definitely take that one off the list! I want to give a special shoutout to Sunny in Xi'an and Abby in Zhangjiajie. They went way above and beyond! They helped me make payments (the system there is crazy), found medicine for me, booked extra tours, and even had meds delivered to our next stop so we didn't have to visit a hospital.Show more
