  • 6- Days Classic China Tour - Private Tour reviewer 1
    · October 13th, 2025
    This tour was perfect from start to finish. Tour guides Linda and Molly both extremely knowledgeable, fun and really made sure we experienced the culture. They made our adventure memorable. You will experience so much in only 5days, everything to make your China experience memorable. Highlights of my trip were the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Shanghai city night lights.
