Imperial China and Yangtze River Cruise This is a very busy trip packed with sightseeing and travelling. There is a fair amount of walking most days although not hard pace or terrain can involve a lot of stairs. Wonderful trip.
Excellent tour operator! Immensely enjoyed the trip. We did the 8-day tour: Beijing, Xian, Shanghai. We enjoyed every moment, the history provided by the tours was excellent. We recommend TCG to all my friends. Accommodation, Food and itinerary were all of high standard.
Imperial China and Yangtze River Cruise This trip has a packed itinerary and takes in several of China's most well-known sites. If you enjoy sightseeing and have an interest in Chinese history, culture and scenery then I would certainly recommend it. You should be prepared for some days where there is a lot of travel and also for some early starts, but they are included for a good reason (e.g. to see the pandas early while they are still awake, get to the Great Wall before large crowds of other visitors turn up etc.). With China having so much to offer you can't possibly see everything in the time available, but I felt that the organisers had made excellent use of the time and it's hard to imagine that we could have done a lot more than we did. As well as the main itinerary there are also a number of excellent optional shows and activities for those who want to experience even more!
