Reviews of our China Tours for August
Feedback from guests who toured China during August.
Maria | Traveled in August
This was the most incredible trip. Our guide, Oli (Luo) was fabulous. His English was excellent, he had a great sense of humour and he was extremely knowledgeable about all of the places we walked and visited. My fellow travelling companions were great and we enjoyed each other’s company. The views were amazing as was the food and I fell in love with China and its people and have memories I will treasure. Don’t forget your toilet roll or mosquito spray.

We have done multiple cruises with agents in both Australia and the USA. My first time booking with Victor was excellent. He took care was responsible for a pleasant and worry free cruise. I would not hesitate to recommend Victor and his company for anyone requiring a cruise or tour in china.
Parry Matt | Traveled in August
Very passionate about making your experience as enjoyable as possible. My wife and I honeymooned in the Guilin and Yangshou area and again did a trip with this local travel specialist for our 10th anniversary.
Lisa Marie | Traveled in August
I loved my tour with Lynn. Doing this tour with her was like exploring on foot with a good friend. Lynn was so informative and accommodating. Seeing the old Shanghai was pretty special and I loved all the food we tasted along the way. Thank you so much! I was in Shanghai on business and I would highly recommend this tour, I'd love to do it again with my husband and kids.
Len | Traveled in August
I had Lynn showing me Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou for three full days. With her help and knowledge, I saw and did things I would never have done by myself. She even tailor-made the tour to suit my interests. I am going back to Shanghai again soon and I will certainly make sure that I book Lynn ahead of time. Thank you Lynn!

Walking through the old streets in Shanghai with a few foods tasting across the way, and a visit to the traditional markets, as well as tea ceremony on Confucius temple, we learnt about its philosophy. The guide was an excellent communicator and was very understanding.
