This has been my 6th tour with trafalgar and my 24th country and I must say this was the cleanest and nicest country I've been too. To say don't believe what you've thought about this country would be an understatement. From the culture to the people we felt welcomed and untreated everywhere you go. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and went over and above to make our experience memorable. If you can make it past the 19hrs in the air this trip is highly recommend, my only regret it wasn't long enough. Until our next visit.
was a fabulous tour guide. Well spoken caring. We learned so much about China
