A Trip that I want to take over and over again
My parents wanted to visit me in China and see the sights, and not wanting the headache of organising everything, we chose to travel with China Culture Tours. Nora was our trip organiser and was helpful in adapting the trip to suit our needs while making sure that we got good value for our money. She always responded to emails promptly and patiently answered any questions that I or my parents had. We had an 11 day tour through Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin and Huangshan. We saw a good mix of the famous cultural and natural historical sites in China. My family enjoyed the natural sites better, it was enjoyable to be out in nature and seeing sites that can't be seen in Australia. Also, the cultural sites tend to have more tourists (the Terracotta Warriors was packed!). My parents loved Guilin the most and I now plan to visit Huangshan in every season. I was thoroughly impressed with everything to do with the trip. The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and spoke excellent English. They answered all questions we had, whether asking for more details about our current stop or about their life here in China. We enjoyed everywhere went and the meals were excellent, whether we were in big restaurants or tiny family restaurants. My dad was quite brave and was willing to eat chicken feet with me (which are quite nice, if bony) and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're thinking of traveling through China, China Culture Tours is the only company that you need to contact.
