Very reasonably priced. Would have liked a bit more free time.

It was a great experience . Very good hotels and wonderful guides

They do a good job.

The food they supply us with is awful, not even close to unique or authentic. This is a great tour and wonderful guides but the food is so bad at times that it ruins the entire day.

When I saw this offer on Travelzoo, I was skeptical because of the numerous typos and incorrect usage of grammar. That indicated to me that it was either fraud or a foreign company. It was the latter. That said, when we finally had contact with the company via email, our trip coordinator couldn't have been more helpful in guiding us through the process of the booking, tickets and trip. The lack of available information on their website was an additional source of unease but everything worked out in the end.

If you don’t speak the language it is very difficult to maneuver around the cities on your free days.

It was a great tour, incredible price for such an extensive itinerary. The food started out well but the last half of the tour really declined. Frozen foods still cold or a lot of food with no flavor. Would have given this 5 stars but our meals were a big letdown.

This was a great trip--especially for the price we paid. I was skeptical at first that we might be in dump hotels and somehow get cheated because we were paying only $599 per person for airfare, hotels, breakfast buffet every day, entrance to the main sites (The Great Wall, The Forbidden City, The Bund, etc.), two+ cities (Beijing, Shanghai and areas near there) and English-speaking tour guides. Well, this was no scam. Everything was exactly as advertised, with some extras thrown in. We stayed in very nice hotels, were transported on clean comfortable busses and got to see a lot of China. Our guides were very knowledgeable, quite personable and very helpful. My only complaint is that the food on some of the included lunches and dinners was not very good. That's why I rated the trip four stars instead of five. So if you take this trip, buy some snacks for your hotel room. Other than that I highly recommend this trip and the ChinaTour Company.
