In May, a friend and I visited China. And China Discovery organized an amazing trip for us! It was definitively one of the best trips we've ever had.

We've spent a total of 3 weeks in China, with 1 week around Beijing, one week around Zhangjiajie and 1 week in Sichuan. What I really appreciated was that we could help to shape up the itinerary to our own liking. On their website they have fast amounts of information about the different regions and sights in China, so I was easily able to identify the places to go to. Evelyn helped me to connect them together in a coherent and single trip!

Furthermore, this also means that China Discovery can bring you to some of the places that other tour agencies might skip. We've for example visited the great wall without any other tourists at Jinshanling (tip!), Visited amazing temples in Chengde, climbed Fanjingshan and went to the beautiful lakes and falls of Jiuzhaigou!

Also during the trip the service was great. Evelyn ensured we got great hotels in all of our destinations. All of the hotels were around the 4+ star segment with comfortable beds and good breakfasts.

During the trips we were supported by local drivers and guides. They are obviously most knowledgeable about the sights in their own city and region! Each and every guide was very friendly and had great control over the English language. They were also very willing to accomodate our wishes and make changes when requested. For example, we decided to visit several impressive shows during our trip that were not in the original itinerary.

What was also very convenient is that these guides came to pick us up and drop us off at the airports or stations where we arrived or were departing to a new destination. The great organization really helped us to destress and focus on visiting the beautiful nature and history that China has to offer.

Once again, this was one of the best trips we've ever had. I can highly recommend China Discovery and Evelyn!

We're looking forward to visit China again in the future, and we'll be sure to do so with them again!
