    A breakdown and accident-free time. Every guide was in the right place at the right time. Everyone was friendly, helpful and informative. The fortnight was varied, exciting and unforgettable. Thanks to everyone!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to our friends. The group size was no more than 7 once we left Beijing and this made for a fun and friendly tour. This allowed the guides to shine and added greatly to our visits to Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing and Shanghai. The organised meals were spot on with the best being lunch with a local family in Xi'an. Accommodation was first rate and complimented with a good breakfast spread. There was also some spare time and flexibility within the tour. Great tour at a good price. Thank you.

    Almost everything went to plan so am very happy :). Had bad weather on one day, and central government restrictions prevented seeing lesser known sights, so that is okay. Most of the guides where excellent. Thanks to those guides who made extra effort to make our tours special. Special thanks to Lexi who was always around to help, and managed to organise the trip so perfectly :).

    Excellent tour, a lot packed into the first week, second week at an easier pace but tour guides nowhere near as good, and despite our expectations, the cruise was not the best part, as it came with a barrage of hard selling - from the moment we arrived on the boat and we were shown to presidential room in an attempt to get us to upgrade, to all the onboard and tour activities that our boat guide was instructed to sell to us. It rather spoilt what could have been a relaxing break. Still was an wonderful experience, China is a fascinating country with much to see and do. An added bonus was the discovery of western style toilets in so many places, sometime as the Disabled toilet, which we would never abuse at home, but seemed acceptable for tourists to use in China.

      For this 14-Day China Small Group, we have two departure dates available in March 2026, one is March 11 and the other one is March 25. If the group dates cannot meet your demand, we can also arrange a private tour for you, which is more flexible.

      Amanda

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      I was hoping for a group departure between 3-7 March if possible? As I am a solo traveller, a private tour is not much fun on your own. Can you please provide a price for this group tour please?

    • TravelChinaGuideOperatorWritten April 2025

      I am sorry that our Small Group Tours are fixed on tour date, we have no available group between Mar 03-Mar 07, 2026. We only have two departure dates available in March 2026, one is March 11 and the other one is March 25.

    • TravelChinaGuideOperatorWritten April 2025

      The tour with Yangtze River Cruise is not available in March. We have a 11-Day China Group Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Shanghai, starting on Mar 11, 2025. The price for 1 person with single occupancy is USD3459 X 85% = USD2940.

    • TravelChinaGuideOperatorWritten April 2025

      If you must take Yangtze River Cruise, you have 2 options: 1. Taking a private tour without Yangtze River Cruise. 2. Changing your tour date to April or later.
