Hello. I would first like to say that I really enjoyed the trip to China. It was an amazing experience I will never forget.
My husband and I flew into Beijing, then went to Xi'an, and finished in Shanghai. Our tour guides Jason, Echo, and William were all excellent. They spoke very good English and were personable.
I have a couple of suggestions that would have made our trip even better.
On each day we received bottled water. This was very nice, but it was warm. If the bottles of water were kept in a cooler with ice around them, the water would help much better with the heat we faced as travelers.
The Chinese Opera was not my favorite experience. I read about a Kung-Foo show that might have been more interesting. We get a lot of singing and dancing in Xi'an and Shanghai, it would have been nice to have something different for the first show.
I was so impressed with the hotels in Beijing and Xi'an. Both were above expectations.
I thought there was a good amount of time for sight seeing, shopping, eating, and enjoying shows. Our tour guides were very good about giving us information and precautions as we went to the different areas.
We had 2 Australians, 2 Canadians, and 12 Americans in our tour group. That was a really good mix. Our group got along really well and I believe it was because you grouped the North Americans together. I saw other groups that were not getting along as well as we were. Thank you for grouping the North Americans together - I believe that benefitted us.
Again, this was an amazing China trip that I will never forget. I was impressed by so much of the tour. The country is beautiful and it has amazing history. Thank you for putting together such a great tour.
