Great hotels, restaurants, and guides

The best ever. Thank you!

Loved the tour. Tour guide, Ocean, is excellent.Suggest adding at least one more day in Shanghai.

I had a wonderful time in China. All the tour guides are excellent, specially Jean in Shanghai and Gary in Beijing. They are very knowledgeable and kind. Made everything runs so smooth and accordance to schedule. Highly recommend traveling with Ritz Tour. Planning to sign up for either the Vietnam or Taipei tours with Ritz again next March.

My extended family of 10 and our newly acquired family of 10 just finished the 16 day Scenic Yangtze Discovery Tour of China. I must say it was truly magical. I signed up initially to help my parents who signed on with 5 of my mother’s first cousins and spouses. I had no expectations. I didn’t even research one aspect of China. I thought it might be polluted, crowded and restricted. Much to my surprise, China is so beautiful, diverse and has such a rich history. Much of the texture and exquisiteness came from our tour guide Ocean. I don’t think there are words to describe the impact he had on the tour but on us personally. He is such a wealth of knowledge not only about China but American culture; he is professional yet personable and he demonstrates an unwavering work ethic. He was intuitive to our each of our unique needs and made sure no one felt left out of left behind. He somehow always had our group of 20 ahead of the crowds at every venue, activity and restaurant. His timing was impeccable. We hung on every word he said because it was also so interesting and informative. We learned so much about the destinations we were visiting but more importantly about the history of China and how these events led to the creation of the sites we were seeing. In addition to keeping us on schedule and teaching us all about China, he was always working on our next day’s itinerary – making sure reservations were in place, tickets in place, flights on time etc.… He is truly an amazing tour guide. He shared personal stories to help us relate, he shared his comedic and singing talents to keep us entertained and he made us all sincerely feel welcomed and loved in China. He gave us advice on purchases at the many destinations… jade store, silk store, tea store to name a few. He helped us schedule massages for most of our group in one of the towns. Ocean's kind and compassionate nature make him an exceptional person and guide. He quickly melded us into a close, family unit. I don’t think my experience, or my interpretation of China would be the same without his commentary. Everything about the tour was perfect – Ocean, the accommodations, the food, the transportation, the local guides, the weather and the itinerary. The only recommendation I would have is more fresh veggies available for the lunches (difficult with groups, I know). I hope to do another Ritz tours in the near future and would love to have Ocean as our tour guide! Thank you Ocean and Ritz Tours for a magical experience in China.

We recently returned from a 16 day trip to China. Our experience was wonderful. The guides were knowledgeable and personable. They took great care of us and made sure everything ran smoothly. They were always there waiting for us at the airport and made sure we got to our next destination. The accommodations were outstanding. We would highly recommend Ritz tours.

Lillian Li has been excellent in organizing each of our tours. She knows the highlights of each location, best length of stay and gets the Best guides and drivers! We have been very happy!
