The itinerary was perfect, we feel like we saw a lot, even though we only had 12 days total We were busy every day, and saw so many wonderful sites. Stacey in Shanghai was great, we only had one day and she had to give us a feel for Shanghai in just one day. Somehow she was able to do that, and still greet us at six in the morning to take us to the airport the next day. Danielle in Chengdu was so lovely. We loved everything we saw, and somehow she allowed us to get the most out of everything and still keep to our schedule! She ordered fresh fruit for us to our hotel. I will never forget seeing the pandas! Our guide in Xian, Ki, was also wonderful. We saw the terra-cotta warriors which my husband loved, and had tons of questions about, Ki was a wealth of information. Peter in Beijing was delightful, we did a lot of sightseeing and went on a once in a lifetime walk on the Great Wall. He was friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job of really trying to get us to understand the history, the dynasties, etc.. All the guides were very good at providing excellent food for us, especially me. I don’t consider myself a picky eater, but as it turns out, a lot of the food there is not to my taste, and I really felt like I had to eat vegetarian after all, so they helped me with that, which I really, really appreciate. Peter even brought an egg salad sandwich for me to eat on the wall. Everything was seamless, all our pick ups at airports, train stations, etc. The cars and vans were nice, always stocked with water, and snacks. We added one of my daughters in at the last minute, and they accommodated that without issue, and then even added another daughter in on the last day. I really don’t think I can say enough good things about this experience. All the hotels were lovely, especially the Peninsula in Beijing.
