- Susan· July 17th, 2025Overall, the tour was well organized. There were a few details that could have been better communicated, like where to meet guides upon arrival and how long the wait could be for Tianamen Square. The Beijing hotel lacked charm, but the location and actual room was functional. The Xian hotel was charming in a 60’s sort of way, but very adequate. The Shanghai hotel was excellent for the final 2 nights.Show more

Asked on July 10th, 2025I would like to know if it is possible to stay one extra day before or after the tour to explore the city. If so, I would need an additional night in the first hotel.
- Top China TravelOperator•Written July 2025
You can add an extra night before the group tour.

Traveler•Written July 2025Do you mean I can book the tour even though a length of 10 days is indicated? May I proceed to the booking normally, although I would like to stay 11 days instead of 10?
- Top China TravelOperator•Written July 2025
Yes you can book this tour. And I can add the item of pre or post accommodation for you after your booking, which should be approved by you.
