Out tout guide Li was outstanding! Incredibly thoughtful and personable.

Our tour Director Li was amazing and made our entire vacation a wonderful experience. His attention to detail and concern for his guests was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make this a wonderful vacation.

The travel director, as well as the local specialist in Xi’An provided excellent service and made the tour a memorable trip. Their quiet, efficient organisation of day-to-day activities in a gentle, caring manner was great and always well appreciated. A special mention of our Classic China travel director, Kevin: he went the extra mile and provided a wealth of information. The hotel accommodation varied from comfortable to excellent and all the hotels had five star locations. All the meals provided by both tours were of the highest quality. The transport (couch, internal flights and car) was extremely well organised and the drivers were all first-rate.

Trafalgar Classic China and Hong Kong-Macau 2019 Feedback The Classic China and Hong Kong-Macau tours were our first organised tours and they exceeded our expectations in all respects. From the moment we arrived in China, we were in awe with the rich Chinese cultural history, as well as the impressive modern developments in China. The itineraries of both tours were outstanding and the optional experiences added excellent value. The pace was fast enough to fit in all the daily activities, but never rushed. The tour group for Classic China consisted of 20 group members. We were fortunate that it was a diverse, but very respectful group and punctual as we never had to wait for any group members after free time. For the Hong Kong Kong-Macau extension, we were only 3 members and again we had a great time. The hotel accommodation varied from comfortable to excellent and all the hotels had five star locations. All the meals provided by both tours were of the highest quality. The transport (couch, internal flights and car) was extremely well organised and the drivers were all first-rate. The travel directors. Kevin for Classic China and Anna for Hong Kong-Macau, as well as the local specialists, Tiger in Xi’An and Tino in Macau, made the tours a memorable trip. Their quiet, efficient organisation of day-to-day activities in a gentle, caring manner was great and always well appreciated. A special mention of our Classic China travel director, Kevin: he went the extra mile with all sorts of additional little surprises, provided a wealth of information and entertained us excellently for 10 days.
