Qustions of this Tour
Customers’ Feedbacks

What is a private tour?

Private China Tours are usually small groups consisting of 1-9 people (individuals, family or friends). Group members can enjoy the convenience and privacy of traveling in one vehicle by themselves. Choosing a PRIVATE TOUR will give much more flexibility with your itinerary and time.

Can we stay in touch with the outside

Quite easily. All ships have televisions in the rooms. Star-rated ships have a cell phone available at the reception. A certain amount of fee is charged for either answering or making a phone call. Also many ships offer internet access. There are charges, too. Please check with the purser to find out exact amounts.

What is the best time to take this tour?

This tour is suitable for travel all year round, May, September and October are the peak tourist months at China's most popular destinations when the weather is comparatively comfortable, but prices are higher, and everywhere is more crowded. Prices drop a bit in the shoulder season, which runs from late March through April and from June through August.

Angela,
Nancy met me at the airport today and she is a delightful young woman!! She took me to the hotel; it is lovely and I decided just to stay here tonight. I went to the gym and worked out and took a nice bath, unpacked. On the way here from the airport I saw how beautiful Beijing is in the evening!! I am thrilled, as all the descriptions I read talked about the pollution, the sand and wind, etc etc and I was unprepared for the beauty I saw tonight.

I am excited about the tour tomorrow with Nancy. It will be very nice; she and I discussed what I want to see and her ideas for showing me the best things without too many tourists. I am happy with what you have done for me so far and want to thank you.

As for the last message, I never did know for sure about the cabin. I am not worried, as I think it will all be just fine. I was in the Shanghai airport today for 7 hours, bought a book on reading Chinese characters and practiced writing some. Met many nice Chinese people working there who were most helpful and taught me some Chinese words. I had a lovely tea and bought a beautiful tea set there. This is something I have wanted for years ever since I went to a tea ceremony, one at our Art Museum in Denver with a Chinese lady; another Japanese ceremony at the Botanic Gardens. I am fulfilling my dream of being in China at last and tomorrow and get to begin to see all the wonderful sights I have longed to see for so many years.

Thank you for your help.

(I am copying this to some of my family and friends, so they will know I arrived here just fine. Tomorrow is the Great Wall the Ming Tombs and the Sacred Road with a finale of Peking Duck Dinner!!)

Dear Aileen,
Just wanted to tell you how pleased I was with all the arrangements you made for me (and my husband) in Shanghai. We returned home yesterday. My tour guide (Mira) was lovely, informative, and great to talk to. I was able to learn about life in Shanghai from a personal point of view--something I would have never been able to do as part of a large group. Our stay in the JC Mandarin Hotel was delightful. The hotel staff was extremely gracious and made us feel very welcome. All in all, our week in Shanghai was very exciting and interesting. Thanks for all your help.
