Thank you so much for arranging everything, it all went as planned and we had a wonderful time. All the guides were very helpful and friendly.
A couple of points for feedback:
Huating Hotel Shanghai very good but a little far outside Shanghai centre.
Holiday Inn Beijing. Service very slow at breakfast. Rooms good and clean.
Tours:
Far too many very expensive government approved shops. While the quality is good the prices are far too high. Negotiating is required to get a reasonable price (about 25% of asking price).
We would have loved to have had a city walking tour around Beijing Shanghai and/or Xian. Going into the local shops and markets with the guides. This they seemed reluctant to do. If time permits I suggest that it would be a popular addition to the itinerary. "
Regal China Cruise was excellent we managed an upgrade to the suites, although I am not allowed to tell anyone how much I paid, it was however a bargain!!
