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
We have done an excellent couple private tour with china connection tours throughout Beijing-Xian-Chengdu-Fenghuang-Zanghjiajie-Shanghai. The tour was very well organized, good price, very good hotels. The time was well balanced, no time was lost. Guides was very expert and available to every our request and they proposed us to add some other activities over the program, this was very much appreciated. They also suggested us good restaurants. We mention of course Thomas, Susan, Donald and Ayli. The main referent Candy Liu was so kind and available to build the tour before leaving and also during the trip to improve it as much as possible. We definitely suggest the tour! Matteo and Filippo from Italy.... More
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with China Connection Tours, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to China. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organised, professional, and tailored to our needs. A special thank you goes to Ms Candy, who was an outstanding travel coordinator and our constant support throughout the journey. She was extremely helpful, responsive, professional, and attentive to every detail. Thanks to her, the entire trip was smooth, comfortable, and completely stress-free. The selection of hotels was excellent, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the pace of sightseeing was perfectly balanced. We had enough time to explore each place, enjoy the atmosphere, and truly appreciate China without ever feeling rushed. Every part of the itinerary was arranged to the highest standard. I am very grateful to China Connection Tours and especially to Ms Candy for creating such a memorable and enjoyable journey. Everything was handled at the highest level, and I would gladly travel with this company again in the future. Highly recommended!... More
