It was a fabulous trip It was a fabulous trip. The guides were excellent, detailed, and humorous, the hotels were beautiful , and the breakfasts were gourmet and bountiful! We covered as much territory as possible. If I had a complaint, it would be we spent a lot of time riding on the buses. The excursions were well done and informative and manageable sales pressure. Great memories!

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip I did not like the shopping stops in the group tours so I arranged a private tour. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, patient and considerate. They were flexible so we could customize and choose the routes we preferred. Hotels were comfortable and meals were good. We stayed in Beijing, Luoyang and Xian. It was a amazing and memorable trip at all, especially the histories and cultures. Definitely go back for another tours.

Just returned from the 9-night Splendid… Just returned from the 9-night Splendid China trip. Kudos to agent Vivian Niu, and our two local guides - Jing and Laura. Hotels were out of this world, meals delicious and filling, guides were kind, enthusiastic, and put up with a lot due to the few "ugly Americans" who were in our group of 30. Busses were comfortable, and sights we visited were very interesting. We especially enjoyed the Hutong Village excursion in Beijing. Our visa arrived in plenty of time prior to departure with explicit instructions for how to handle them. I've been recommending InterTrips to everyone I speak with. We look forward to more travels with this fantastic company.

The Visa came very late and contained… The Visa came very late and contained an error. Tour group subjected to dehydration - lack of water, food too salty, rooms too warm, and heater blasting on bus. Last night suspect. Woke too groggy in morning. Later discovered earrings and ring had been altered, which I had been wearing! Suspect personal items had been accessed and searched in hotel room that particular night. Very unsettling. Suspect for identity theft or future extortion.

Great for the price, but know what you are buying. Intertrips provided everything that they said they would. My main issue with this particular tour (Splendid China) was that it was more about getting us to and from their "factory tours"' i.e shops than it was about sightseeing. They could eliminate Hangzhou and Suzhou completely and have a much nicer trip. We wasted a couple of days travelling on buses and checking in and out of hotels instead of enjoying ourselves. Should have just spent 4 days in Shanghai. On the plus side, the hotels were 5 star and the included breakfast buffets were unreal.
