Great Personalized China Tour
My wife and I have no reservations recommending China Culture Tours. We echo the other reviews of this company. Lydia, the tour company representative, was nearly immediate in her responses, flexible to our request for changes and stayed in contact with us during our 9 days in China (even on her own holiday!). Our guide in Shanghai (Summer) was very welcoming (especially important on that first day in a new culture after a long flight) and paced us just right for our jet-lagged condition. Linda, our guide in Zhangiajie National Park was full of energy and fit our needs there perfectly (she even sang to us on a long van ride). Tom, our guide in Beijing, was perfectly fluent in English and as interested in our point of view as we were in his. He also greeted us each day with a different bottled coffee for when we needed a lift! All the guides were flexible to the extent our schedules allowed and we called a few audibles. The drivers that ushered us around safely are also worth mentioning--we always felt safe in their vehicles. Finally, when all was said and done, we think China Culture Tours was a quite reasonable value for such a personalized experience.
