Great Travel Experience with China Culture Tour - China Culture Tour is my first experience with them. Linda is my first contact and we found her extremely helpful and fast in responding to my queries. She has arranged all the itineraries for my trip. Upon arrival at Xian past midnight, we were greeted by Crystal at the airport. She was our guide for the whole trip. We found her very professional, friendly and accommodating to our needs.
