A wonderful trip beyond my words! My wife and I just came back from our two weeks tour in China and everything arranged by Elysian Tour is perfect!

As senior travelers been to lots of different parts of the world, this trip still far exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier about it! Fiona is so attentive, patient and listened during our trip planning stages. Her tips all well worked out and things arranged for us were very well paced that we did not feel either rushed or tired at all. We were both very happy that we had our own time exploring the neighborhood a bit in each city on our own, which is kind of a tradition for us during our travel. It's a lot of fun meeting local life and people though not so many Chinese we met spoke English. But isn't it the fun of travelling to a different country? The Yangtze River Cruise is amazing, relaxing with fascinating sceneries along the way. We did some onshore excursions, all good and we did not go to the optional ones as walking in the included ones is enough for us. Taichi class on the cruise is our favorite and we still practice in the morning in our backyard. Those slow movements with strength do help refresh and exercise!

All our guides and drivers were on time, friendly and knowledgeable. We want to give our special thanks to Selina in Xi'an. Though we were told not to leave anything in our hotel before checking out many times, we forgot our passports in the safe. LUCKILY, Selina reminded us to check whether everything is packed before we left and when she mentioned passports, I was panic as I did not see them anywhere with me. Many thanks to these considerate people on our tour that we felt so comfortable and pleasant to talk to and very well taken care of throughout our trip. They are all our angels!

Thank you, Elysian Tour, for an outstanding trip and excellent job you've done! I already recommended you to my sister who's planning a visit to China with her grandchildren.
