Our China trip with Elysian Tour far exceeded our expectations! Bella organized a wonderful customized tour for our travel dates, and allowed us to visit the best tourist attractions in Beijing and Xian, plus we got to hike on the Great Wall for 2 different days on 2 different parts of the wall. This was our favorite part of the tour. It was beautiful and sunny out each day we went, and we could see great views of the hillside while walking along the wall.

The driver in each city was very helpful and the cars that our drivers had were very nice - the top of the line automobiles including Tesla Model S.

The guides in each city were WONDERFUL - Sally and Janny made it a wonderful and friendly experience that my husband and I really enjoyed, and Susan was very professional and efficient. Sally and Janny made us feel like we were part of their family and treated us kindly. They all explained the history of China and we thoroughly enjoyed the learning process. We loved seeing the artwork and ancient artifacts in the museums as well - very beautiful.

The hotels that Bella had selected for us have perfect locations - we are very grateful for her good taste. The hotel in Beijing was right downtown in close walking distance to everything. We could walk to Tianamen Square, Forbidden City Palace Museum and it was walking distance to shopping places, too. The hotel in Xian was within the City Walls right by the Bell Tower and easy walking distance to many attractions and shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

We found our favorite restaurant in Beijing 2 blocks away from our hotel, called Meizhou Dongpo. The best fruit press drinks and the best kung pao chicken dish!

Bella also helped organize very convenient and comfortable trips on the high speed train from Beijing to Xian, roundtrip. We were quite impressed with how nice the train system is, and enjoyed getting to see the countryside as we traveled. Bella arranged for our guides to pick us up from the airport and gave us transfers to the train and to return flight - it was very nice to have our guide walk with us into the train station and into the airports to find our departure sites.

We had a great experience and amazing time in China! And we would be happy to be a reference for anyone who itch to try a private China tour.
