Excellent company to travel with
Right from the moment I first contacted Lydia Huang at China Culture Tour I knew we were in good hands. Lydia was very responsive when we were planning our trip - was efficient and planned a great itinerary while ensuring we were consulted about hotel choices and activities we wanted to engage in. All arrangements went very smoothly - transfers were seamless and we had enough flexibility to make changes to the itinerary as we travelled. Hotel choices were generally close to attractions but offered a good place to relax and contemplate the day's activities. And Lydia was available on WeChat whenever we need her help while we travelled. However all the arrangements were so well organised that this wasn't necessary. In Beijing our tour guide Eva was outstanding. She was very enthusiastic in sharing the history of the main sites - the Great Wall, Forbidden Palace, Tianeman Square, Summer Palace etc. She was also a great joy to travel with and made us feel very welcome. She was attentive to our needs and very open to changing the itinerary when necessary with no fuss. Her choice of restaurants was excellent and she ensured that we had a great selection of local dishes in restaurants where locals ate rather than the "production line" restaurants for tourists that we visited in Xi'an. With a great sense of humour and a desire to make our visit to Beijing special she was a hit with all our party. Show less
