Small group china tours
Our China tours are small group travel and we define
small group size as no more than 20. Small group travel has its key advantages over large group size.
In a large group of 30 or 40, your time to
interact with the guides is very limited and your individual needs may get
neglected. Lack of meaningful interaction with the guides is one reason
many seasoned travellers avoid operators running large group tours.
Small group size gives the guides flexibility to
improvise, adding an important dimension not available with large group
travel. With our small group size we can take in special events, such as a
wedding or a new rural school's opening ceremony, on a very short notice
or while they are unfolding. We are able to "sneak" into a neighborhood
without causing a scene. When we pass by a local restaurant we like, we
can just walk in for a good meal without overwhelming the kitchen staff
and having to wait for long.
Our client, Andy L from Calgary, recently
commented on his Laurus Travel China tour by saying "The size of the tour
group and the transportation arrangements were excellent. I can't help but
feel sorry for the other tour groups that we saw that were so large that
the guide had to use a megaphone and herd them like cattle to keep them
moving."
John and Dolores D of Arizona who just came back
from their China trip with Laurus Travel told us "We have done much
international traveling in the past but mostly independent of a tour. Our
experience with Laurus has convinced us that a small tour group is an
excellent option. We do believe that having traveled in a group of only 10
people was a great advantage and we would avoid companies that put
together large groups (25 or more)."
Sometime ago Neil and Heather M from St Albert,
Alberta, wrote "We chose Laurus for several reasons: the attractive
itinerary; the small group size complete with tour leader; that
Laurus focused solely on China; and the strong testimonials we read... All
the above reasons to choose Laurus were verified in our recent trip."
We encourage you to do more research on this if
you are still not yet convinced that small group travel is the way to go.
Small group travel may cost you a little more than with a large group but
certain destination specialists such as Laurus Travel may offer you
terrific value by leveraging their volume and expertise.
