This trip was fantastic. Led by an enthusiastic, super organised and knowledgeable guide called Tracy who never let us down and was very much an asset to the trip. The Yangste cruise was an opportunity to both relax and have China pass by with its three gorges as well as all the river activity. We took a peapod and our local guide sang to us down the river. Cycling the Xian city wall 5 abreast was a terrific high and walking the Great Wall of China and then taking the slide down to the bottom was very exciting too! The Terracotta Warriors were mind blowing. This trip provided hotel luxury with great breakfast' and the best Chinese food meal after meal you will ever eat in your life. I got back 2 days ago and I'm already booking my 7th Explore holiday for next year. (SJ - 14th May 2011)
