China Experience Reviews

Our tour was exceptionally organised using planes, trains and coach to see the major "must see" parts of China. The local guides made each place far more meaningful even though we'd taken definitive guide books with us. The tour guide who was with us for the entire time was able to give us continuity and deal with the logistics of each day and how ...read more we were going to achieve the itinerary with regular toilet stops. We were primed the night before as to what we'd need in the way of wet weather gear by being told the local weather forecast. Anna our guide was the best that we've ever met. She was totally organised and her English was excellent and she lay down her expectations of us like being on time and where we were to meet. She called us Anna's family which gave us all a sense of belonging.

Thanks Cosmos for making our holiday a great and authentic China experience. We appreciate the fact that the tour guide went to a lot of trouble to make sure everyone was happy and satisfied. We loved all the great attractions and cultural experiences and were impressed at how Cosmos gave much more than expected. We loved the food and thought it much ...read more healthier than Western diets today. We also were impressed at the way China is tackling pollution, the very good roads, the quality of the new buildings and the advances in education. Too many great highlights to mention but the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall were among the best.

It was a tour filled with endless attractions. Items such as the acrobatics show was out of this world. Dances that we saw were fantastic. All in all we had a jolly good time. Tour Director Charles was a friendly, helpful, caring and knowledgeable person who provided a professional service throughout the tour.

The only improvement that is needed is ...read more to find a way of minimising the need for tour participants to carry heavy (main) luggage over long distances at the airports and railway stations - even through escalators. In fact a suitcase fell on me while on the escalator and I fell down on the person behind me. Luckily he was strong enough to catch me thereby preventing any injury. This is important because the majority of participants are senior citizens. Anyway it was a fantastic tour that we would recommend to anyone.

Enjoyed the tour immensely. Would recommend to others who are curious about China. The tour took in the icons of China but was a lot more as it revealed how far China has progressed and how fast that progression is continuing. The Crane (mechanical) is certainly the bird emblem. Our national tour guide - Ivy - was absolutely brilliant and made sure ...read more we all enjoyed everything on offer.

What an awesome holiday. Ticked a number of things off my bucket list - The Great Wall of China, Terracotta Warriors and the Yangtze River. Our tour had only 19 people, which was a great size. Grace was an absolute joy and nothing was too much for her. She went out of her way to ensure we had what we needed and always willing to translate for us - ...read more especially what food we were eating! The local guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a snap of China.

The tour exceeded our expectations and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends. Our Tour Director Jason was excellent and the three local guides were very friendly, approachable, helpful and informative. Accommodations were very clean and comfortable. This was our third booking with Cosmos & Global Journeys and will be back for a fourth. We ...read more thank Madeline for organising our tour.
