    China Highlights was the most amazing, memorable experience ever! Our guide, Lomg was the best. His knowledge, patience, passion and support showed no bounds. Thank you Lomg. What I will say is that this Tour is 'full on'. There were days when we didn't have time to eat anywhere and had to buy our breakfast, lunch and snacks the night before for travelling during the day. It was definitely pretty exhausting but so worth it to be able to see all the magnificent sights in Shanghai, X'ian and Beijing in such a short space of time. Highly recommend this tour.
