It was a great experience touring across China in 15 days! We were a 5 people small private group including 3 high school graduates. Thanks to Leo, our trip advisor at China Discovery , the trip was well arranged and coordinated. We all had a good time!

We planned our trip a few months ahead. We communicated with Leo via phone and emails. Leo always answered questions quickly and informatively. Due to train schedule and cruise schedule changes after our booking, we had to make changes our tour arrangements. Leo patiently explained the situation and making great efforts to make arrangements to accommodate our needs.

We visited popular sites in Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chong Qing, Yangtze River (Cruise), Zhangjiajie and Shanghai. For every trip leg, local guides would pick up and take us to train stations. They accompanied us in all site visits. They also made arrangements for lunches. These local tour guides are professionals. They are very knowledgeable and speak good English. With the help of those local guides we were able to efficiently and yet comfortably visited so many places in a short period of time. The high speed trains are amazing. It was fast comfortable. A great way to travel from city to city! The weather was good for the most part of our trip. It got a little hot and humid starting mid of June in southern China, when the Southern rainy season starts.

We all enjoyed our trip. I highly recommend China Discovery for China tours in a small private group setting.
