AMAZING 5-star Yangtze scenic tour with Ritz!! I am a long-term Ritz Tours customer, being introduced to it for the first time in 2011 by my in-laws and took my very first trip with them at that time to China. Since then, I have been on many Ritz Tours covering most of Europe, Japan, and China. Lillian as General Manager has always been wonderful to work with. Most recently, I took my parents for their first trip to China on Ritz's 16-day Scenic Yangtze Discovery tour as China reopened to foreign visitors. We just came back from our trip last week and I must say that was probably my best Ritz trip so far and I have been to China on multiple occasions for both pleasure and business. 5-star hotels, amazing banquet style meals with regional cuisines, knowledgeable and friendly local tour guides, and beautiful sceneries as we covered the major cities of Beijing, Chongqing, Xian, Guilin and Shanghai. Both modern and historical! The tour also included 4 days on the 5-star Victoria Sabrina on the majestic Yangtze River. The Sabrina is currently the world's largest river cruise ship, so our superior cabin, private dining table, executive lounge access and facilities were all amazing, not to mention the views of the impressive Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric dam! Best of all, our tour leader for the entire trip, Ocean, was the best tour guide I have had in all my travels and I have traveled extensively around the world. His knowledge, experience, thoughtfulness towards everyone of all ages, enthusiasm, flexibility and problem-solving skills are much appreciated. I have always and will continue to recommend Ritz Tours to my family and friends. I myself plan on more Tours with Ritz and hopefully with Ocean, if possible. We celebrated both my mother's and my birthdays on this recent China tour...thank you, Ocean and Ritz Tours, for an unforgettable experience! -Natalie T.

Our private tour of Thailand was really… Our private tour of Thailand was really good in quality and value. The flights were on schedule. The hotels are highly rated and centrally located. The included meals are varied and delicious even with the restaurants in the local areas visited. The tour guides and drivers were very friendly, helpful and dedicated to their jobs. Their services exceptional. Of course, there is always room for improvement. But Ritz Tours is surely one of the best around that we have tried. We will use it again and recommend it our relatives and friends.

Trip to Japan Gail Thompson Ritz office in LA was very helpful and tour was generally good and Japan is has an interesting history. Tour can be improved by only including only the MOST important castle, temples and shrines. After a few days this becomes too much to enjoy and understand the history. I wanted to go to a tea ceremony and festival but this was not offered at all. I felt that we needed to learn more about their culture. The town I liked the most was Kyoto. Our guide was nice and helpful but much of the information she shared on the bus and inperson could not be fully understood because of her accent. I know that it is hard to lose your accent so I suggested that a summary be given to us so we could read it for ourselves. I will recommend Ritz Tours to others.

My tour to Taiwan was great My tour to Taiwan was great, albeit, a little rushed. The accommodations were very good. The language skill of the tour guide can be improved. The agent that helped us book the tour, Lillian, is caring and professional. Overall, it was a good value for the tour.

Ritz had great plans for our food… Ritz had great plans for our food experience. We visited many religious site and touristy venues. Due to weather we missed views and Mt Fuji hike. Hotels were good but worst one was in Kyoto. Tour guide excellent bus drivers good. We could've had fewer shrines and one people to people experience. Rather hectic pace and so much walking.
