China Solo Tour Testimonials
Here’s what our customers have to say...

I would like to make mention of our excellent Tour Manager, Max. The trip was absolutely seamless, with several upgrades along the way, and we managed to miss a lot of the crowds. Our every need was anticipated throughout. Max was especially helpful in making sure there were plenty of meat-free meals for me, which was much appreciated. He made a wonderful experience even more special. All the hotels on this tour were very good, with the Tibet Hotel being exceptional. The pandas in Chengdu were wonderful, and I really enjoyed the river cruise through the Three Gorges.

Yes, it’s generally safe to eat the food in China, especially at reputable restaurants and hotels. If you have dietary concerns, our guides can help you choose suitable options.

Chinese cuisine is diverse and delicious, ranging from spicy Sichuan dishes to delicate Cantonese dim sum. There’s something to suit every palate, and our tours often include meals at highly-rated local restaurants.

Must-see attractions include the iconic Great Wall, the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the ancient Terracotta Army in Xi'an. Nature lovers will enjoy the dramatic karst landscapes of Guilin’s Li River. For a mix of modern and traditional, Shanghai’s skyline and historic water towns provide a fascinating contrast.

Yes, it’s polite to greet people with a nod or a slight bow. Avoid pointing with your finger; use your whole hand instead. When visiting temples, dress modestly and remove your hat.

Pack comfortable clothing and shoes for walking, a hat and sunscreen for sun protection, and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Depending on the season, you may need warmer clothing or rain gear.

The best times to visit China are during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. These seasons are ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

China is generally safe for tourists. However, it’s always wise to take standard precautions, such as safeguarding your belongings and being aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded places.

Mandarin Chinese is the official language. In tourist areas, you may find English-speaking guides and signs. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases can enhance your travel experience.

The currency used in China is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Yuan (CNY). It’s advisable to carry some cash, especially in smaller towns, although credit cards are widely accepted in major cities.
