Review summary
This tour was an excellent introduction to contemporary China. The river cruise part was a very relaxing aspect, with great food, good company, fine accommodations, interesting stops and dedicated staff and guides. China is fairly overwhelming and we do not think we could have attempted this kind of a trip on our own, which is the usual way we travel.

I visited China last year. There was no pollution thank goodness. My sister was there months prior and many people wore masks. I am returning to China nest year & I'll bring a face mask just in case - the one I didn't need last year. I loved the palaces, the temples and the huge statues. I can't wait to return.
