We boked directly from Portugal with China Connection Tours (CCT) a 22 day tour in China for a private group of 6 people. The initial itinerary proposed by us was greatly improved by a number of CCT's suggestions which worked out very well. The tour organization was excellent: timely, competently and effective. All 10 guides who led our small group have been great, all a great company: friendly, wishful to help in any circumstances and knowledgeable about the Chinese culture in general and on the areas visited with each of them in particular. We have no hesitation to recommend CTT as an excellent travel agency Who put their best on the organization of this tour.... More
