Elysian Tours was a great Find! We had originally wanted to do a group tour, but we much prefer our own guides and personal attention. As such, Candy and Sarah were fantastic! They accommodated every need including helping us with a money exchange. All of our local guides were excellent and took us to all the important locations without stopping at every tourist trap! We felt very safe and secure everywhere we went and had the benefit of locals to translate for us at each and every location. Our guides were very understanding when we arrive late in the evening adapting the schedule to meet our needs, stopping for shopping as requested and offering suggestions. We highly recommend Elysian Tours for China ! Our tour took us from Beijing to Xi’an to Chengdu to Tibet to Shanghai and Hong Kong! Wow it won’t be forgotten any time soon.
