The tour schedule is excellent, and the different guides are good, friendly and very professional. BUT..... Bravo, the tour operator books very poor hotels in 2 of the most important stays- Beijing and Shanghai. For a hotel to be classified as 3 or 4 star on a tour, it's not just the hotel facilities that need to be taken into consideration, but also location. The hotels were each over an hour (double this in traffic) away from the main attractions of the city's. It made the time spent in each city very difficult. In the evenings after been dropped off by the guide it was impossible to get back into the city to go for meals or a look round at night. Very disappointing. And the operator refused to help find a better located hotel, just stated that was it. I would not recommend Bravo Tours on this basis.Show more
