Definitely am glad that we took this 9 day trip to China in March 2018! For just under $1,000/person we received so much bang for our buck...visa, round trip flights from Houston to Beijing and Beijing to Shanghai, wonderful hotel accommodations including full delicious breakfasts each morning, sight seeing tours with bus transfers and guide, and more! I've heard the government subsidizes the trip costs to get visitors over there, and it worked as we went and had a great time spending money where we wanted on optional tours (all that we did were excellent!) as well as nice souvenirs. We had a fantastic time in the cities we visited (Beijing, Shanghai, Hanzhou and Suzhou), and we can't wait to take advantage of another one of their trips!

For the cost of the total tour and the number of things we saw, I could not ask for a better tour package. Hotels were very nice with very good breakfasts. My only dissatisfaction lies in 3 areas: 1) There was a fair amount of pressure from one of our guides to purchase the optional excursions, as well as from the factory personnel to purchase goods; 2) if you did not want to take one of the optional tours, you were stuck on the bus with no availability to explore on your own; 3) outside of Beijing and Shanghai, the hotels were not near anything to walk to; no possibility to have dinner outside the hotel or to experience the local area. Overall, the tour was great and well worth it. I just felt very managed, and I was logistically unable to go out and do anything that was not on the itinerary. I never had the chance to experience real Chinese food or a real Chinese local experience. The food served in the factories was worse than a bad Chinese restaurant in the USA.

The 11 day China tour surpassed my expectations. I wondered what I would be getting for the price we paid. The hotels and their breakfasts were truly wonderful. The tour guides were beyond helpful, informative and organized. The optional tours are certainly worth the money. The beauty of China and sites we saw were memorable and breathtaking. The lunches and dinners that were included were plentiful while the food was just ok. We were taken to restaurants that cater to tourists and I felt the food was a bit bland. It was my thought that these meals would not have been served to Chinese customers. It would have been much better if our busses had WiFi (only 1of the 3 had WiFi). However, the seats were very comfortable and the busses were clean. I would not hesitate recommending this trip or this company to friends.

Our first time trip to Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huangshan and Shanghai was beyond our expectation when it comes to food, hotel accommodation, tour destinations, tour guide and bus transportation for the price that we paid for the China Tour. Me and my husband would highly recommend it to other travelers. We are happy traveling with INTERTRIPS when we were in China!

I would not go with this tour again for few reasons. Their tour guides would not help us at all especially the one that starts from Shanghai. The hotels are good but all of them are outside the city and takes 1:30 to 2:00 hours to get anywhere. The food that they serve were average but not sufficient for the entire table and you have to ask many times in order they bring more. Not much free time at all. They want to take you to the few places that they want and they do not give you any time for yourself. The boat ride in Shanghai and both shows were very good.

Excellent experience, I will go back

we travel last year with my wife, it was an excellent experience, will take another tour in the near future. highly recommended . nothing to complaint about, 10 stars easy,,,,,,

We took our 2 boys (ages 9 and 13) this March 2018 to China through China Tours. It was a smooth experience from start to finish. We booked the trip through Travel Zoo. The representatives from China Tours were professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Everything along the way happened exactly on the timeline that was proposed. The flights were long, but comfortable. Our tour guide was there to greet us in Beijing, and get us through customs and security and get us to our hotel. The hotels were all very nice...The first 2 nights in Beijing were the least desirable of all of the hotels, but still clean and nice. The day tours were excellent - our guide took us on a very nice motor coach bus with our large group of around 40 all through Beijing over a few days and then on to Shanghai and the surrounding cities - this was may family's favorite! The trio was great! Actions packed and very little time to stray off the "beaten path" but if was well worth the money. We would absolutely recommend to anyone!
