China, the Magical Middle Kingdom
Dear Members,
Few places expand your worldview like China. My family’s journey here was utterly fascinating—my son Emerson was especially transfixed. He loved everything about China, from the calligraphy lessons to the Xi’an terracotta soldiers. If you’ve been hoping to visit this remarkable place yourself, our China travel partner, Imperial Tours, has a series of special group tours available in 2010, in addition to their private tours. Whether you want an itinerary that covers the most famous sights, a specially designed family adventure, or a tour of unique, little-known destinations, they’ll make it an experience to treasure.
Imperial Tours combines local expertise with a solid understanding of the luxury and comfort western travelers are looking for. They go to great efforts to ensure your trip is perfectly planned and filled with one-of-a-kind experiences, like a private banquet on the Great Wall, kung fu performances by Shaolin monks, and backstage access to the Beijing opera. Each tour is accompanied by a local Chinese guide as well as an experienced, western “China Host,” fluent in Chinese and English.
With Imperial Tours, you’ll see China in a way others never do. And by taking advantage of these group tours, you can do it for a great price, while enjoying the company of other like-minded travelers.
Tour groups are limited to 20 guests. Dates in bold are guaranteed departures. Non-guaranteed departures require a minimum of 6 guests.
