"Just Perfect!....Explorient arranged a custom first class trip for us to China. When we arrived in China, everything was handled perfectly. In each city we had a driver and an English speaking tour guide that took amazing care of us every day. The hotels were all top notch 5 star hotels, including the Peninsula, ShangriLa, Raffles, etc., and the daily itineraries were exactly what we had hoped for. Kervin spent a lot of time ensuring each aspect of the tour was what we wanted...very personalized experience. We would definitely use Explorient again.
