We had no plans to visit China until our son suggested it - we were so pleased he did. It was a fantastic cultural experience. I felt safe at all times during the trip. Our CEO was knowledgeable and guided through a fantastic variety of visits. I appreciated that we were not constantly changing hotel everyday. It has the trip has left me wanting to go back again.

China Express is a well planned out itinerary. Our CEO is very patient and accommodates all our reasonable requests. He is well versed with different locations history and practices hence no stress. I am thankful that is not physically demanding. Am pleased that the Great Wall - Mutianyu had cable lifts going up and toboggan rides coming down enabling us more physical strength and time to walk along the great wall. More importantly, the Hotels & Restaurants were clean and food was great.
