It was a wonderful experience, excellent guides and a well organized tour. The group was small -19 great people. The hotels were elegant, food good and China a fascinating place to visit..Only one big error...our last flight allowed only one hour to land and go through customs and get to connecting gate...unfortunately the plane was delayed so we missed our home flight to JFK and on our flight to Boston we were charged a hefty amount because we missed that connection too..So far i have not been contacted by smartours to take care of the problem...as soon as they do I will give this tour group top rating because they did everything else so well
