Conrad 's 15 Days Beijing Datong Pingyao Xian Chengdu Guilin and Huangshan Tour Package

China Culture Tour personalized tour -- 15 days

We had a top-rate experience with Nora and China Culture Tour. We wanted to see some sites that are not part of the usual group tours and didn’t want to be part of a large group or do a lot of shopping. China Culture Tour’s private tour was the perfect solution. Nora expertly created an itinerary that allowed us to see many wonderful places in China during our short two week stay. Nora and China Culture Tour handled all the reservations for hotels, trains, flights, admissions to and travel between attractions, taking that work off our hands and allowing us to just enjoy the trip.

Nora was very accommodating in arranging for our daughter to join us just for the day on our trip to the Great Wall. And she really performed exceptionally when our flight from Beijing to Datong was cancelled late at night due to thunderstorms – Nora on short notice found a hotel room in Beijing near the airport for the night and a new flight to Datong for the next morning. After we arrived in Datong, our trip continued on-schedule as if nothing unusual had happened.

Our guides at each of our destinations were great! We got so much more out of our trip to China because of the quality of the guides. Helen, Miller, Amy, Luna, Cory, and April were delightful, their English was very good, and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a great amount from them about China’s history and about modern China. They were also very good about being flexible about our activities to deal with the hot, humid weather. Our guides were all aware of our dietary restrictions (thanks to good communication from Nora), and they were very good about finding appropriate foods at all the restaurants where we ate.

Highlights for us were the Great Wall, the Yungang caves and the Hanging Monastery, the Terra Cotta warriors, the pandas at the Research Center, the boat trip on the Li River, the close look at villages near Yangshuo and at Xidi, and the spectacular scenery and nature at Huangshan (Yellow Mountain).

We chose four-star accommodations, which were more than adequate for us: large, clean rooms in hotels with restaurants and services. Yangshuo Mountain Resort Hotel was particularly nice, in a beautiful location overlooking the Yulong River and karst hills, with great food, service, and a very nice room. Our only caution to other travelers is beware that July in most of China is very hot and humid.

We were very pleased with the excellent service of China Culture Tour and would recommend them to anyone who wants to see China hassle-free and with individualized attention.
