From the time of looking for providers to the very last moment of our trip, Elysian Tour was incredible! Our 11 day tour of Beijing, Xi'an, Lhasa and Shanghai was flawless.

With the help of Johnson, our travel consultant, we were able to make the most of the 11 days we had. He made recommendations extremely well-suited to who we are as travelers. Our trip was well balanced between relaxation, exploration and local life. We explored the UNESCO sites and many other highlights in the cities we visited. Additionally, we had so many cultural experiences and I am grateful for each of them and the variety. From painting a Peking Opera facial mask in a Hutong courtyard to seeing the old lady living in the cave dwelling who was still making tiger head shoes, trying her hardest to preserve the traditional craftsmanship, it was all a bit magical and precious. Another highlight of our trip goes to the Tibet part. Tibet has been our dream destination and many thanks for making it a reality for us. Again, our amazing travel consultant Johnson recommended Lhasa and the must-sees to fit for our time and budget. We were impressed at the Potala Palace, the pilgrims we met on the way, the monks debating in Sera Monastery, all stunning!

We chose 5 star hotels and they were all exccellent with wonderful breakfasts and locations as advertised. The guides are incredible, helpful and knowledgeable. Our special thanks to Lock in Lhasa. He took us to a local bar after our tour and we made there on a tutu! It was truly exciting and amazing! Thanks again for an awesome tour!
