We made the round trip magical China from the end of April to mid-May and were thrilled by the individual stops, we saw an incredible amount and had great hotels on the route, it was well organized and the trip is a lasting memory for us. Only the group size was a bit too big, After a few days, a second bus was used with an additional escort, but in the end we did the program points together. We were lucky with the group that everyone looked after each other and were pretty punctual at meeting points and departures. For us an unforgettable experience at a great priceShow more
