This was a wonderful tour with very knowledgeable and helpful guides. You learn much about the history and general interest about the area, and the guides answer all questions very well. The meal was excellent, but it's a very long trip, so I would bring along a snack.

A wonderful day. A very long day, but still wonderful. They do their best to get in as much as possible. The only negative was the panda was a bit disappointing, but it didn't take away from the tour.

This was an excellent experience with not only an extremely knowledgeable guide, but other local guides as well. I would highly recommend it, except take off the zoo stop. There was just one elderly panda. I did not like the bear that was posed for a photo with any tourist, as the bear was attached with a mouth ring. My family felt sorry for the creatures here. However we felt privileged to see the Terra Cotta warriors, to see the old and the new buildings, to learn about China and its customs, to walk an open market. It was a memory beyond words.

One of the most interesting tours we have taken. We had excellent tour guides in both Hong Kong and China. If you can only do one tour to China from Hong Kong, this is it.

A good mix of modern and old china. Should carry a bottle of water or a drink. Consider bringing a snack since you only get one meal during the whole tour.

We enjoyed the trip to China and the guide was very knowledgeable about what he showed us on the trip. We did feel sorry for the panda as it looked very lonely and sad.

This was a great experience, though a little too long. Too much time was spent in places where we were supposed to spend more money on expensive items. They are fun to look at, but I thought we were there for a travel experience, not shopping.

A great tour. We were handed our papers, stickers for the tour as we walked into our hotel. It was amazing. They must be psychic. Everything followed on from there - very efficient people, especially going through customs in China and keeping a large group of people of various ages together. The China experience itself was great though a little scary. We are very glad we went but probably won't return in a hurry.

Very interesting, though long. I advise people to bring water and a snack for train ride back, as it is a long time since lunch and you may not want what they sell on train. If you have seen pandas in USA, look at other part of zoo if possible. We had good guides and border was easy with their aid. Poor display of Terra Cotta warrior dark room. Ask for more information, as nothing much is given. It is still a very good trip to take.

Everything was just fine except that the food we got for lunch in China wasn't tasty.

Going to China was an experience not to be missed; however, parts of the trip were overrated, particularly the warriors and the panda. We would have loved more time at the zoo for a good wander around. We find different zoos so fascinating. As for the warriors, well, we would have loved to take photos. The rest of the trip was really an insight to the Chinese way of life and the culture. The tour guides were informative and even stressed how to get through passport control easily. The bus and train trips were long, but you can't get far in two hours in Australia either.

There is a lot of travelling on this tour. Photographing the children at the local kindergarten made us feel a bit uncomfortable. The elderly panda at the zoo was coaxed by zoo staff to move in order that photographs could be taken, which also made us uncomfortable. The lunch and the visits to the local market, the Memorial Hall of Dr Sun Yat Sen, and the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees made this trip definitely worth doing. The tour guides were excellent throughout. This trip provides a brief glimpse of life in China.
