- AFrances· December 23rd, 2019Due to the vast size of China, and the must-visit sites, there needs to be a lot of travelling involved. Really pleased that HK was added to the itinerary (another reason why l chose this trip) but awareness of a slower pace would be good due to the amount of travelling prior to arrival. Overall my feeling is that the trip is not a holiday, but it is an experience and an excellent introduction to what life is like in China. I enjoyed this experience, and came back for a rest, but am glad l went!Show more
Explore! commented on this reviewHi, thanks for taking the time to write a review, I am really pleased that you enjoyed the experience of visiting China. I hope you'll explore the rest of the world with us in the future!Trip date: April 2019Review collected by Explore! - ARoger· December 23rd, 2019Would it be possible to persuade hotels to provide a little more Western Food for breakfast (Only cold hard boiled egg + toast is not very nice). They have both bacon and eggs, so why not bacon & egg, and Continental breakfast? We all ate Chinese (with chopsticks) every evening but Chinese again for breakfast is a bit to much for a Western pallet.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for taking the time to write a review, I am pleased that overall you enjoyed your tour to China.Trip date: April 2019Review collected by Explore!
- AAnna· May 17th, 2019Betty, our tour leader, went above and beyond her role. When we didn't want to do an optional activity, she organised something else with little time or notice. The alternative activity - to watch the sunset in a scenic spot - will remain an outstanding memory of the trip. If all your guides are like Betty, I will book with explore again!Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your lovely review and feedback of Betty. Hope to travel with you in the future.Trip date: March 2018
