We just returned from a trip I booked with Elysian Tour several weeks ago. Like most people, we usually don't use travel agents much, but we had limited time to plan and book for everything. There are so many travel agencies out there, while Elysian Tour stands out because it was highly recommended by my friend Joan. Just like she said, those guys are honest people who really want you to enjoy your trip. They provided me with more than one travel route, trying to help me to travel smart and make my decision much easier! The guides couldn't be any more accommodating, very good at making recommendations on restaurants. My Beijing-Xian-Chengdu-Shanghai trip was one of my best experiences ever! Being a big fan of Elysian Tour, I wouldn't book any China tours from other agents!
