Re: Travel Forum
Hi Chazz,
The most important thing in reference to your trip to China was that you were happy. We wanted to spend more time in China itself and go to the out lying provinces that was our focus. We also wanted to be in a small group - less than 20 and not stop at any "Friendship Stores" if possible.
We stayed at 4 or 5 star hotels depending on availability, in the heart of the areas we went to, restaurants were all very good. Tour guides and Tour Manager were both excellent. Only a couple of optional tours, otherwise everything was included.
With some companies providing tours in China what your Guide said is true about Tour Guides. Other companies seem to have more leeway.
Our tour was not a top end tour price wise, we did meet other people on tours in China who paid more than we did, but were with larger groups. From the way they spoke they wished they were on our tour.
We also had an excellent time in China and the people whom I have referred to this company also had an excellent time. Like I said, it depends what you are looking for - price, number of people in group, destinations, mode of transportation, number of days in each place, where accommodations are located and what is or is not included in the trip.
Did you write a travelogue of your journey and when did you go?
