Overall we can say that we had an excellent trip and that is for a big part because of ChinaTours. We travelled several times in Asia on the same concept (private tour driver/guide) and this was one of the best organised.

Mr. James O’Neill

Thank you for organizing our tour! We really enjoyed ourselves from our arrival in Chongqing, on our Yangtze River Cruise and on our four night stay in Shanghai. Everything was extremely well arranged starting from our greeting at the airport and transport to our ship in Chongqing. Our accommodation on board the Century Paragon was perfect for the three of us and we will never forget the experience of the Three Gorges cruise and the interesting shore visits to Shibaozhai and the Goddess Stream. The meals on the ship were fantastic and we enjoyed meeting other passengers and the crew alike. Our visit to Yichang was an unexpected pleasure and we enjoyed a museum tour and city tour compliments of our local guide Jennifer. She brought us to the airport and facilitated our departure to Shanghai. In Shanghai, we greatly enjoyed the company of Darcy, our local guide, who provided excellent service on our city tour and visit to Tongli and Suzhou. He brought us to two local restaurants for our lunches and assisted in ordering delicious local dishes which were a real treat. Darcy also provided wonderful suggestions and tips on local transportation around Shanghai on our free day. Our departure was smooth from Shanghai. We will always treasure our good times in China after this tour.

We were thrilled with our tour! “Angela” was so prompt in responding to every email we sent prior to the trip and covered every detail. She reminded us about the visa, something I completely forgot about. Our guides were very accommodating, attentive, spoke English well. Sally and Jennifer were the stand outs. We took the luxury tour. Our hotels were outstanding, breakfasts were so good, huge variety. The Yangtze cruise boat Victoria Jenna room was OK, not luxury as the hotels. Food was very plentiful and tasty. Luther was fabulous! China tours was most accommodating in adding to our itinerary by taking us to see Suzhou & Zhouzhuang. They made all the arrangements for our request to continue on to HongKong after the end of our tour in Shanghai. We are most happy to recommend to anyone we know or others who want a recommendation to use China Tours! We so enjoyed the experiences of being close to people in China, not on a big bus tour. My husband was able to have a shave from a local barber in Suzhou, an experience he could never have had on an organized tour. The silk factory in Suzhou was outstanding! I could not see the silk thread the weaver was using! What skill these women had and they let us be so close to their work. Our guide got us to the Great Wall later in the day when there were hardly any visitors. We had it all to ourselves, which was quite surprising, since every place was packed with tourists. I think our guide knew when the best time to visit would be for our optimal experience. YES, YES, we only have the highest comments to say. Thank you for a most wonderful trip to China.

Mrs. Elizabeth Shui

We had a wonderful time in China, and the care and attention given by all of the guides were EXCELLENT. The guides were friendly, attentive, had excellent knowledge, spoke excellent English, knew their history very well, and were able to tell us so many interesting and important facts. We loved all aspects of the tour: the famous and historical sites, the views, the history, the excellent guides, the excellent drivers, the flexibility of the guides and drivers, the Government shops for jade, pearls, silk, crystals and silk, the markets for free-time shopping, the hotels, and of course the wonderful food! This trip was a truly joyful and amazing trip! I would do this again any time (when I have saved up). I would highly recommend your tour company!
