    Very friendly, polite and professional guides and drivers. Everybody was eager to help to make our experience even better. Eva Wang, our trip coordinator was always very responsive and put together a great itinerary for us. We had a wonderful time exploring China for the second time.

    It was such an amazing trip with so much culture to experience. But China is huge, and I feel like there are still so many places I didn’t get to see—definitely a little regret there. Guess that just means I’ll have to come back next time!
