The Yangtze River Tour exceeded my expectations in every way. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The sites we visited were amazing, offering a wonderful mix of culture, history, and beautiful scenery. The hotel locations were excellent—clean, comfortable, and conveniently situated, making it easy to walk around and explore on our own. One of the highlights of this tour was the outstanding guides. Every guide spoke excellent English and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Whether sharing local knowledge, providing historical context, or helping with individual needs, they were always available, professional, and genuinely caring. Everything felt thoughtfully planned and seamlessly coordinated. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a Yangtze River journey. I would absolutely do this tour again and am very grateful for such a memorable experience. Thank you for an incredible trip!Show more

The tour was excellent, a wide variety of places visited. The bus was very comfortable and almost brand new. the hotels were of a high quality but the only issue was the last hotel which did not have a bar or a place to relax with friends and the restaurant was a hot pot style with only 2 choices on the menu. The guide was superb. I would recommend Tour Radar but it is expected that all the hotels which were quoted as 4 or 5 star have a bar, a place to relax and a good variety of choice in the restaurant.Show more
