CLASSIC AND PREMIER COLLECTION GROUP TOURS Discover the magic of China with one of our popular Group Tours. By traveling with a group of likeminded people on tried and tested itineraries, our Group Tours offer a fully inclusive vacation at an excellent value. YOUR NATIONAL ESCORT PLUS LOCAL GUIDES One of the key benefits of traveling on a Group Tour is that you will be accompanied by a National Escort throughout your vacation, from your arrival in China right up until you depart for home (minimum 10 passengers). You will also be joined by expert Local Guides who provide an authentic view of each place we visit. Our customers consistently sing the praises about the knowledge and professionalism of our National Escorts and Local Guides, particularly their friendly, supportive nature. GUARANTEED DEPARTURES ON ALL TOURS Book with confidence knowing that our tours are guaranteed to depart. This is subject to a minimum of two passengers traveling and applies to all departures. A National Escort will accompany each group of over 10 travelers, while groups of a smaller size will use Local Guides only. SMALL GROUP SIZE The group size varies depending on the tour, but we offer a maximum of no more than 28 passengers on all Classic Group Tours, and 20 passengers on Premier Tours, although you may meet other groups traveling concurrently. Traveling with a small group of likeminded fellow travelers is a great way to enjoy new places, share new experiences and meet new people. SEAT-AND-A-HALF POLICY Your comfort is our priority, so for a group of 28 passengers we will use a motorcoach with about 48 seats. This gives our passengers over a seat and a half of space each, allowing ample seating and storage space. On some departures where we have a smaller number of passengers we may reduce the vehicle size, but we will always endeavor to maintain our seat-and-a-half policy. The only exceptions are where we are in remote areas or are obliged to use official vehicles (e.g., within a national park). The prices of our Classic Group Tours are great value because they are absolutely, fully inclusive: • Domestic transport and transfers • All Accommodations and Cruises • Meals as indicated (including Feature Dinners on Classic Tours) • National Escort and Local Guides • Daily Tours with Entrance Fees • Visa Fees for US and Canadian passport holders • Taxes All you have to pay for locally is tipping and any personal expenditure which could include optional excursions, shows or of course, souvenirs. PREMIER TOURS Based on our proven successful Classic itineraries, The Premier Collection of tours - A China Experience, Majestic Yangtze, Wonders of China, Grand Yangtze and Yangtze Splendor - offers clients the opportunity to experience the marvels of China with some extra indulgences. We have selected five star luxury hotels for you to enjoy. These hotels are of a western standard in central locations, such as the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing, the Grand Central Hotel in Shanghai and the Sheraton in Guilin. The group size has been limited to a maximum of 20 total passengers per group. Not only does this give you more space on the coach, it also gives you more one on one time with the National and Local Tour Escorts. Remember you will be guided by two escorts, one who will be with you throughout your tour and a second Local Guide who will be a specialist in each city you visit. We have upgraded the meals to give you more choices and extraordinary culinary experiences including Peking duck at the famed Quanjude Restaurant and a Shui Jiao Dumpling Banquet at De Fa Chang Restaurant in Xian. We have also left some evenings free so you can enjoy a quiet evening away from your group. Your Tour Director will be available to help you make reservations. Whatever your choice, Classic or Premier, you are about to journey to a magical place and have the experience of a life time. 8 Classic and Premier Collection Group Tours
