Reviews of our Chengdu Tours for October
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Chengdu during October.
Kim | Traveled in October
The tour I went on with the local travel specialist was excellent. The small group of 10 people was a comfortable size. We travelled in a very clean van and our driver drove well. Our guide, Barry, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable and helpful. The highlight of the tour for me was a visit to the Great Wall of China which I thought was amazing. I highly recommend Barry as a guide and touring with this agency.
Deidra | Traveled in October
I was able to remain in direct contact with the tour company and be sure of our plans for the day. The tour guide picked us up right at our door and spoke amazing English. The driver was also very kind. We had a great time, and the lunch was phenomenal! Would definitely recommend.
David | Traveled in October
Our 15-day private tour of China exceeded our expectations. A major concern we had was my wifes food allergies. All the guides on our tour were exceptionally helpful in assuring the restaurants and meals were compatible for my wife. We saw every major attraction we had been anticipating plus much more. The guides helped personalize our tour in each location and we were able to see many things beyond those listed in the itinerary. I highly recommend a private tour with the local travel specialist to maximize your time in China and to provide comfortable accommodations and ease of travel.
Lizzy and Dan | Traveled in October
We loved our tour with the local travel specialist and we were very impressed with the service. We started our tour in Beijing and ended in Shanghai and the agency was with us every step of the way. They picked us up from the airport in Beijing, organized our train tickets, got us to the train station and picked us up at the other end in Shanghai. Thank you, operator - you really contributed to this being a once in a life time trip!!
