“This was our first trip with Smartours and it was incredible. My mom picked this trip and though China was not on my bucket list it turned out to be a truly remarkable trip. And am so glad we went. Our guide, John, was fantastic. . I loved that our tour had flexibility to stop at a few new places that had just been discovered. The hotels we stayed ard were quite luxurious. After China we went on a number of other Smartours which were all fantastic. I love that the groups are not large.”

“This was my second tour with this company. We went on sept 24 through October 1st. Some days was very humid. Flight was from LAX which made it very convenient. Loved the history of China. The tour guide ‘Ma’ was pretty knowledgeable. Being vegetarian the food was very good. Yangtze River Cruise was 4 days. Great natural beauty. The food and the service was awesome. Looking forward to take more tours with Smartours.”

“I had booked a trip to china departing on Oct 13, 2020 and returning on Oct 24 2020,. I paid $$600 towards deposit for this tour. Given the Covid 19 situation in the world I wanted to cancell my trip since I ama 71 year old senior with Hreat condition, Diabetic and several other conditions. I called several times but the answer I got was that I would loose my deposite if I cancell my trip. This is not acceptable at all since Globus cancelled our entire trip to Portugal without any reservations at all. I will not recommend smart tours to any one from this point forward. They are fleecing their customers in this trying times when people are fighting a pademic and these people are going after their customers . Shame on them. We always travel in a group of 6 couples. We will never consider Smart tours from this point forward. My daughter is a medical professional and working 12 to 16 hours on the front line treating patients on one hand and here they are fleecing me for $600.00.”

“My husband and I took this tour, our first with smarTours, in September 2019 and it was amazing! The sights were incredible, the hotels were first class and our group was great, which made the experience even more enjoyable! We want to thank our guide, Jo, who helped to make the trip so special. It was a tour with so many details and numerous travel arrangements, but she managed them with ease and precision! She was like a mother to us all, keeping us on track and together (which wasn’t always easy!) and making sure we had the best possible experience. She was always cheerful, helpful, entertaining and very informative. Her personal stories and insights gave us a much better understanding of Chinese culture and history. Thank you to smarTours for putting together such a wonderful tour, but especially to Jo for making our first experience of China so memorable.”

“The China and Yangtze River Cruise with Hong Kong hits in a bit more than two weeks the highlights we think about regarding China. The fully packed itinerary led by a knowledgeable tour leader covers a myriad of historic, scenic and urban locations including shopping opportunities. The tour is an unrivalled value for the money.”

“Outstanding from start to finish. Oscar (Bo) was a wonderful guide and took care of everyone on the trip like they were family. We saw SO MUCH--for less $$ than the competing groups that we saw doing the same itinerary. The hotels were top-drawer, with excellent breakfast buffets...And, if you like Chinese the rest of the meals were very good. The Yangzte River cruise was wonderful. We arranged our own air and came in a day early to Shanghai and left a day late in Hong Kong and enjoyed the downtime from flight over and afterwards from the fast-paced trip. We had great local guides and could not have been more pleased--except next time we won't go over the May-Day holiday(:-) Highly reccommend Smartours”

“We want to thank our guide, Harry, for making our recent China trip most memorable. Harry was so efficient, kind and helpful. Thank you Smart tours for providing a China trip that highlights the many areas of the greatness of China. It was a well rounded trip that covered all the sites one would hope to see. We would definitely recommend Smart Tours on this amazing trip”
