- AMANDREW· January 7th, 2025I had a wonderful time in China, traveling over the Christmas holidays under Discover China's Silk Road (private tour) program organized by Realistic Asia. It was an exciting and memorable trip, allowing me to tick off highlights after highlights on a daily basis, from the Great Wall in Mutianyu, to the Forbidden City in Bejing, from the impressive and jaw-dropping Terra Cotta warriors to the ancient city fortifications of Xi'An, from the pristine Li River and the towering limestone stacks flanking it in Guilin to the astoundingly colorful and bright skyline of Pudong in Shanghai at night, to mention a few. It was a 11-day tour, but I extended by four days to cover more and to have a few chill days to enjoy on my own. I was very pleased that everything went without a hitch, as per the promised itinerary. There was nothing to complain about-- the pick-ups, the transfers, the domestic flights and high speed train journeys (a must!), the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guides, the hotels and the included meals were all commendable, and they all made for a delightful first-time visit to beautiful China. I was pleased to have made a decision to travel in December (the cold withstanding, particularly in Beijing), which is a low season, as it allowed me to avoid the hordes prevalent in other popular travel seasons, which made for a stress-free traveling experience! I recommend this tour!Show more

Trip date: June 2024 - NNNolan· May 31st, 2024We enjoyed the sites and local ethnic and cultural experiences along with the educational exposure we obtained. We enjoyed the personal touch and attention to detail by most of our tour guides. We can tell some tour guides are more passionate and more experienced than others and that can make a difference. For some of the tour guides that struggle with the English language should be reconsidered as a tour host because they lacked either the experience or attention to detail that many more seasoned guides have that differentiated them and made the experience less desirable. Overall, the attention to our safety and providing us an experience of a lifetime was worth it.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Nolan, Thanks so much for your review!
