Williams's 16 Days Chengdu Yangtze River Kunming Lijiang and Beijing Tour Package

Another outstanding trip!

My son and I recently completed a 16 day tour of China arranged by China Culture Tours. Last year Nora at CCT planned an incredible trip for us so our expectations were high for this year. We were completely blown away. The entire trip was seamlessly planned and all our guides were helpful, passionate and very professional. We began in Chengdu and saw the Panda research park and too many other sights to mention in a short review. Our guide, Murphy, introduced us to Sichuan Hot Pot. Incredible. We cruised down the Yangtze and saw the Stone Forest from Kunming. One highlight was our guide, Cindy's help in Lijiang exploring the ancient city. She is a first rate guide and problem solver. We then saw Beijing and the Great Wall. When I plan our next trip to China I want Nora and China Culture Tours to arrange all the logistics. They are outstanding.
