Even better? This trip is completely private to your party; the guide, the driver and a vehicle are all at your disposal.
This price tag may be higher than you're used to seeing for China vacations, but it's packed with value, covering everything you'll need for an incredible trip including 5-star hotels and a luxurious river cruise, flights, transfers, tours, guide tips and even your Chinese Visa.
