This was our first tour and we were extremely impressed by the organisation and the standards. The size of our group (19) was not overwhelming and allowed us to get to know our fellow travellers well. Our guide Jason was absolutely outstanding at his job. He was caring and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour, which added to the experience. 

The holiday was packed with everything you could want to see in the time available
Our guide Naomi Tsuruoka was excellent putting in a lot of time and energy to make the holiday as good as it was

I don't leave reviews as a matter of course, but i will say everything was excellent. The party i travelled with were quite diverse in character, ranging from, i have been everywhere people and know it all, to the most down to earth people i have ever the meet, from the North East, South West, and Scotland. The antipodean members seem to have been everywhere and had great pleasure of informing us. The following i would like to mention. Jean + Paul, Elizabeth(Libby), Sue, Vicky, Ron, Claudia + Sandra(sorry for pulling your leg all the time), and Ian(i have told them not to build the wall any higher) ha-ha. i hope Medina is on the road to recovery. The tour rep Louis was excellent and the first local rep Lindsey was joy to behold, both did outstanding jobs and are a credit to your company. The tour was full on, but this is what we signed up for, a positive response which would indicate that a good time was had by all, Well Wendy Wu, in the words of the Bard, I think you nailed it. I don't have anything planned as of yet as my business now needs my full attention. Now to blow my own trumpet, Ron asked me what my hobbies were, i said philately(stamp collecting) which is true, but my real pleasure is restoring Grade 11 listed buildings. I think that is all.
All my love to everyone,
May your life have more up's than down's
May your God go with you,
Love

The tour was exactly as articulated in the documentation. It was packed with iconic sites . The organisation was brilliant and our tour guide - Yoko - exceptional . Everything was meticulously planned and the quality of the food and hotels better than we expected.

The itinerary was perfect. The National Guide Jason was fantastic and incredibly helpful. The Local Guides very knowledgeable.
You need to be pretty fit as there is a lot of walking and stairs/steps involved.
Apparently there were some moans about lack of free time....the itinerary is very clear in my view that this is a very full on tour and if free time for shopping etc is required this is not the holiday for you.

Very well-planned itinerary. Good quality hotels. excelent guides, both national (Amanda) and local (in each destination).
The sights in China exceded expectations. All the people that we met were very friendly and in some instances curious.
I thoroughly recommend this tour.

An all inclusive tour . First class guides hotels food itinerary .

Very enjoyable trip, very detailed and the tour guides were excellent.

Have just booked so not been on the trip yet so can't speak about that experience. Booking was easy and the advisor was helpful. Their experience of going on similar trips helped. Booked at an event so got extra discount and lounge access. Can't wait.

Excellent service with an excellent guide

Very friendly and informative booking clerk

The trip lived up to all that the ads promised. Really excellent guide, good hotels, lovely food and an incredible range of excursions and entertainment.

Very efficient and excellent booking procedure

Too much crammed into each day not much free time to relax last hotel was a bit dated. Needs updating. So much going on all rolled into one Could do with no lunch some days as it was mostly the same each day. 6 hour drive on the last day was too much maybe there is another way to take a train and maybe get the luggage transferred overnight
