Exciting 13 Days China trips with many UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Just returned from 13 days trip to Zhangjiajie-FengHuang arranged by Zeva Yan. Both my daughter and I had a great experience with the trip plan, especially when she professionally handled the last minute change of hotel location to cater our need. This was beyond our expectation. Last but not least, our tour guide lady Olivia, also did a superb job in dealing with my limitation. Every time She tried to find an easier and better route for me with less climbing up down the stairs. She even offered her hand to help me along the way. I am very touch by her patient and caring. Overall I had a great experience from the start to finish.

Exciting 5d/4n Yangtze River cruise

I went on a 5d/4n Yangtze River cruise from Yichang to Chongqing. The cruise ship was relatively new and the cabin was clean and comfortable. There was enough food selection to cater for everyone’s tastes. The crew members were very helpful and polite, one (Cindy) even helped me get the food for every meal. There were also enough activities on board like movies, spa etc if one opted out of land excursions. The land excursions were very enjoyable. Despite my temporary restricted mobility, I was assisted in getting on and off the ship and when the wheelchair was required, the staff members offered to help in pushing it. Thalia from AOT had been exceptionally helpful, advising me on which land excursion was not suitable for me and even sent a requested foldable stool to the hotel for my use in the shower on our extended 2-day stay in Chongqing post cruise. Overall, this cruise had been a very good and pleasant experience for me.

13 Days of Dream Trip in China

We, a family of three from New Zealand, enjoyed a trip to China in October this year. We have been preparing for this trip for 2 years. Before finding this tour operator, we also inquired with some local travel companies in New Zealand and China. After comparing, we found that the itineraries offered by New Zealand companies were relatively limited, and they required a minimum of 16 people to form a group. Therefore, we ultimately chose the 13-day group tour package with this operator. In our group, there are a total of three families, consisting of 6 people. The other members are from Germany and the United States. It was an amazing trip. Totally worth it.
