    We had a great experience in China. Tour Radar was excellent. The guides explained the history of China and the places we visited. They kept us interested all the time. Celine was excellent in Xian. Timekeeping was excellent. The hotels were beautiful. Overall, it was a great experience.

    The tour was great. We saw a lot of thinks in a short time. We had very, very good guides in Beijing (Rocky) and Xi'an (Tracy). they both had a very good knowledge of the historical things and we could discuss with them about life in China today. We saw a lot and we learned a lot about China. We can only recommend this tour!

    Great guides, super well organized, amazing hotels. They send you a list of things to set up beforehand to deal with the “great firewall of China,” which was great though I would have liked it sooner. Thanks to our wonderful guides Kevin, Lily, and Johnny, as well as Wally and Sean for the airport pickups.

    As a couple surprised by an fantastic individual tour by three very articulate guides and proficient drivers around Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. Learnt not only about history but culture and language today. Felt very safe even when venturing out alone around cities without guides. Our only issue was we could not get internet to connect but that is going to be more us being technophobic. However so supported by guides that not required.

    The tour was wonderful. The tour guides were very informative and gave lots of recommendations. I went during their down season in December, best decision every. There was not a lot of people at the most popular tourist locations. I recommend coming during the winter.

    We had Maggie in Beijing, Susan in Xi’an, and Chris is Shanghai. This tour deserves 5 stars all around, but the only reason I take one off is because of Chris in Shanghai. He didn’t meet us at the airport (all the other guides did) he started the tour later, but then was late to the hotel. This would not have been a huge deal, but we didn’t cover all of what the itinerary said in Shanghai, and he sold us on an extra tour at night that covered the parts we didn’t do during the day plus an extra thing we had asked. It felt weird, because Maggie and Susan were literally bending over backwards to make sure we were having a wonderful time. I was vegetarian, and they made sure that every restaurant we went to made dishes for me. At the restaurant in Shanghai, it was clear he did not relate it to the restaurant and I was given a plate of peas to eat when I asked if any of the dishes on the table were vegetarian. I feel so guilty not giving this tour 5 stars because it really was one of the best tours I have EVER been on other than the Shanghai portion. It may look like there’s a lot in the itinerary, but I NEVER felt rushed. Any questions or concerns I had were dealt with immediately and Susan and Maggie were so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. I would HIGHLY recommend using this tour company - and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a tour group before.

    I love the tour very much, but in Xi’an we losed my husband, my sister and my cousin for 2 hours, finally the Tour Lady found them..., for me the Tour Guide must stop to check all of the tourists all the time. In Shanghai, it was raining all day, they canceled the boat ride which is very bad for us.. We spent lots of money to see nothing. All else, Everything is excellent. Thanks
