An INCREDIBLE 4 week tour of China
My wife and I had a 4 week Top China Travel tour of China in November of 2024. While not the ideal tourist season, the guides/drivers, lodgings, weather and locations were all we could have asked for and we basically had the entire country to ourselves!! We initially contacted a lady named Tracy from TCT Guilin, China, to begin our tour organization. She was friendly, professional, very involved and provided a basic 11 day tour itinerary to consider and then helped us sort out where we wished to go, places see and things to do during our China Holiday. She was fully able to arrange everything we needed for our 28 day tour and was always available during the tour for questions and suggestions! We visited 10 different cities, along with Hong Kong, Macau and Tibet. We saw Tienanmen Square, The Forbidden City, palaces and gardens, The Great Wall, Terra Cotta Warriors, Potala Palace (at about 12,500 feet ASL) in Lhasa Tibet, the Panda Research Center, Chongqing and a 3 day cruise on The Yangtze River and visited the 3 Gorges Dam and Yichang. We saw Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and lots of country. Bullet Train rides at 300 KPH, flights to Tibet, buses, private cars, great hotels, excellent food suggestions (Yak in Tibet), walking tours, many Monasteries, Temples and Palaces and local street visits made the experience unforgettable! We were taken to train stations or airports, put on the correct transport and then met by new guides and drivers at the next tour stop. It all went off without a hitch or problem! Our city guides and drivers could not have been any better! They were professional, courteous, very knowledgeable and extremely patent with us 'Old People' and were always open to slight modifications along the way...... We CANNOT recommend TCT any higher and plan to look into future tours with them as they do tours to most Asian countries! Our biggest "THANK YOU!" to everyone involved with making this a 'Tour of a Lifetime!' Bill & Marcia USA
