This wonderful trip changed my prospective of China. Hitting all the best highlights of China it was the perfect length of time. So many activities, it is a great value for the cost. Mr Lui, our tour guide, could not have been more caring or knowledgable. If you are ready for cultural differences, great Chinese food, and seeing world wonders, this is the trip for you

The experience of a lifetime

The best part of the trip was our visit to Shanghai! Both the National Guide and Local Guide did an amazing job explaining the history and development of the city. The visit to the Shanghai Museum, the Acrobatic show, and the garden were great! However, we did not spend enough time to experience the tempo and flavor of the city.

A delightful experience. A true addition to anyone's "bucket list". The sights you see, things you get to experience; walk on the Great Wall, see the Forbidden City and Tinn Sq., the Terra Cotta Warriors, Cruise the Yantze River and the Three Gorges, you are experiencing the history of a country that precedes the founding of the US. A great value, I highly recommend this adventure.

This trip was fabulous. I can't say enough about the interesting things we saw and learned. Great care was taken to insure everyone was safe and enjoyed the experience. Our guide was a delightful, knowledgeable, conscientious, and capable young woman.

Completely over-the-top experience. From sight-seeing, to lectures, to every day lives of people, to all the famous sights you've ever wanted to see, to demonstrations of Chinese art and music, to hands-on, try-it-yourself experiences, this trip was everything I'd hoped for and more.

My bucket list trip went beyond my expectations.

If you have ever wondered at China's Great Wall or the Terra Cotta Warriors, if you love learning about all the diversity of a country, if you want a cultural taste of art, music, dance and spectacle...you MUST take this tour offered by Road Scholar. And if you have a choice, ask for Hu Lin as your guide. The whole experience was sensational!!!

I enjoyed this trip a great deal. I wish the weather had cooperated a bit more. The walk on the Great Wall was much anticipated, but the fog/drizzle so deep you could not see the "vistas." We got bumped from our hotel in Xian and spent 2 days in a dilapidated business hotel. It reeked of cigarette smoke, had mold on the ceilings and mildew everywhere. Just awful! Yet, the Terra Cotta warriors left me breathless.
We got flooded out on the first day on the Yangtze--were captive on the boat--a bummer. The sun finally came out and we had 2 terrific days cruising. I was very taken with Shanghai. The architecture is stunning. The Shanghai acrobat performances awesome. Our tour leader was personable, spoke excellent English and was very witty. He made the trip special.
