The tour was very enjoyable. The guides, especially the one in Beijing, were very accommodating.

From a personal point of view, I will offer the following observations. Again these are personal and other tourist will probably have a different opinion.

The breakfast was very good. The lunches were excellent. But the time between the breakfast and lunch was too short. Lunch was generally about 12 and 1300 would have been better. Also the amount of food was too much for two people. We usually ate less than half of what was available. I would have probably chosen to have a "snack" for lunch and the meal at night if the option were available. On the night we had the excellent Peking duck, we ate very little at lunch in order to enjoy the duck.

I would have liked the option of wine with lunch/dinner, even if we paid extra for the wine.

If it had been available I would have chosen a combination of Beijing/Xian over the Beijing/Shanghai tour. It might have been on the list but if it was, I missed it.

I will certainly recommend your service to my friends if we return to China to visit Xian etc., we will check your services to see if you offer tours to the areas we want to visit.
