What I love most about travel is merging with the local culture and surroundings. China is my latest discovery. To be in Shanghai on a crystal clear day is very special. I arranged for a private driver to get myself and 2 friends around the city – we covered a lot in 8 hours! The Terra Cotta warriors in Xi'an and the Great Wall are two must visits on any itinerary to China. Learning the history behind both of these man made creations is unbelievable. I would be honored to assist you with your travel plans to China!
They say that, "The best part of travel is in the planning!" This is what I love to do; it is my passion… and China is so vast with so many cultural diversities and opportunities for different experiences that pre-planning couldn't be more important. In partnering with Imperial Tours I can customize your entire journey to China and provide you with the "Imperial Moments" they have nurtured and developed. Would you like to experience bamboo raft riding in Guilin, the opportunity to meet with Tibetan monks in their monastery quarters, insider access to a private palace at the Forbidden City, or a private banquet on The Great Wall? It is not only my goal, but my pleasure to personalize your trip and make it one of your most memorable vacations ever.
