Amazing Journey - Eu amei o tour, Angela foi incrível nos transportou com seu conhecimento as principais dinastias, sua simpatia e amor por sua patria me fizeram amar ainda mais a China. Super recomendo esse tour e em especial com a Angela sem ela não teria sido tão incrível. I loved the tour, Angela was amazing she transported us with her knowledge of the main dynasties, her sympathy and love for her homeland made me love China even more. I highly recommend this tour and especially with Angela, without her it wouldn't have been so amazing.

100 Recommended! - We had an amazing time! Our tour guide was Sumin Iris. She speaks Spanish and english. Thus, she explained everything to us very clearly. We learned a lot from the culture and history. In addition, she helped us navigate the train and bus system. We really appreciated her help, company and knowledge.
