Agos's 23 Hong Kong Guilin Yunnan Xian Beijing and Shanghai Tour Package

Hi Grace!

Thanks for the response and the photos!! We had a wonderful time!! Sure you can put us as reference, let me know if you need anything else!

The rice terraces for us were amazing. The fact of sleeping in the village in such amazing hotel was so special. Furthermore it combined everything: culture, nature, exercise and the time to enjoy it.

I would have to say Lynda and Michelle, in different ways were outstanding tour guides. Michelle took the time to explain us so many things. Her English was really good and also her knowledge of Xian and culture. In this aspect, I must also highlight Murphy in Kunming. They both told us stories and history and local mindsets and that was so rich for us. Linda told us cool things but also made us feel really taken care of. She was flexible and helpful, gave us really worthy advised and we never felt she was only working, she had fun with us. Sally in Dali was great in this aspect as well.

The hotels were definitely a highlight, the Longji one hotel, the old theater inn in Shaxi, the hotels in Shangri-la, Beijing and Yangshuo made our travel special. The rest were all great, really great, except the one in Hong Kong that I suggest to try with others. The meals were really good!

We found the fast train a great transportation mean. It doesn't imply long waiting timings, weighting luggage problems and it is way more conformable than a plain. Furthermore you can actually enjoy the lovely landscapes.

For the travel suggestions on to other travelers, I would do Beijing firstly, since it was nice, but the interior of the country is amazing and when you've seen it then Beijing losses the special surprise factor. The impression show in Guilin was really nice and also the king palace in Lijiang. Also the biking tours are worthy.

There are many WOW things, Dali as a town was amazing, the rice terraces in Guilin, Shangri-La’s monastery, Shanghai’s skyline, Xian's wall and warriors. The route to Shangri-la was amazing as well.

Totally! We will recommend you.  As soon as I have a moment I'll do the review in trip advisor!

Best,

Agos
