A great trip in regards to where we went and what we saw, however the group was far too big, 17, which had an impact on pace we could go and at times it felt like we were like any other tour group being herded around which is not why I chose to go with the tour operator.
Our recent trip to China was very well planned and orchestrated and wanted to thank you for your help. All of our guides were fluent in English and knowledgeable in answering our questions and extremely organized and well trained and efficient. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see and experience the highlights of China. On another trip perhaps we could see the farms and factories and the inner workings of China. Is such an experience available through TCT It wouldn't be anytime soon but would like information about it if possible. I found the Chinese people to be well ordered, law abiding and loyal and proud citizens. They were courteous and welcoming. Many of the Chinese people with whom we interacted were also tourists within their own country. I was so happy to see the high living standard. Once again thanks for organizing a wonderful trip for us that we will long remember.
IMPERIAL CHINA & YANGTZE RIVER CRUISE This is a great trip for those that want to have many and varied experiences packed into 21 days. The itinary is full on and involves a great deal of internal travel. Overnight trains were probably the low points but were coupled with the brilliant highs of walking on The Great Wall, visiting the Terracotta Armies and seeing some very cute baby pandas!
