The "Enchanting China" tour was very good. However, checking off the ship was chaotic. I couldn't find the shuttle bus to the airport for my return flight because there was no tour guide standing by the bus holding a sign. I had to take a taxi to the airport. The taxi driver couldn’t read properly and took me to the wrong airport. So I had to book and pay for a new flight to get home. I’m still waiting for my refund today. All documents were sent to Bavaria upon request. The “Enchanting China” tour was very good. However, checking off the ship was chaotic. I couldn’t find the shuttle bus to the airport for the return flight because there was no tour guide holding a sign by the bus, and when I asked the staff where the Bavaria shuttle bus to the airport was, they just kept saying “Outside.” I had to take a taxi to the airport. The taxi driver couldn’t read properly and took me to the wrong airport. As a result, I had to book and pay for a new flight to get home. I’m still waiting for my refund today.

This was one of the best trips I have done, very varied, we were able to learn and see so much about China. The word "magical" fits our trip perfectly. "Anna" our tour guide has been nicknamed "Anna-pedia" by Wikipedia. She was professional, super organized, she told us a lot about the history, traditions, current life and much more. She always kept an eye on our group and nobody got lost. It's rare to have a tour guide who simply thinks of everything. The trip enchanted us, the accommodation was TOP, the food was very good. It's a shame that the time passed so quickly. Best wishes to China and to our Anna.Show more
