    · July 17th, 2025
    Overall, 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.

    Jennifer of Top China Travel has been incredibly helpful and supportive right from the beginning to the end of our tour. Both Sisi (Beijing) and Sally (Xian) are amazing tour guides and they looked after all the travellers with their utmost respect and care - Awesome hospitality at both cities with lots of great memories on the places that we have visited. Top China Travel is indeed a great and reliable tour company and we will definitely recommend our friends.

    I 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.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Do 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 TravelOperatorWritten 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.
