Wonders of China with Hong Kong City Stay

Every hotel was perfect Lovely rooms excellent breakfast Check in very slick.

Hotel check-ins all very quick and well managed. All hotels of a good standard.

All the hotels were excellent except the one in Beijing which was standard. It was a great experience and very well co-ordinated and managed by our national guide. Jonathon was excellent, friendly and did his best to ensure we all had a good time. The individual guides were all very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise, some relating their own experiences of growing up in communist country.

Excellent tour made even better by our tour guide Jonathan, he removed all stress and was a patient considerate man with a lovely sense of humour. All the local tour guides and drivers were also excellent. A lovely view of China and it's people. One of our best holidays ever and superb value.

All hotels were are of a great standard. Very comfortable beds.

Landmark hotel in Beijing not as good as rest but the breakfast made up for it.

All hotels found to be of high standard.

All hotels were of a good quality, very clean and comfortable with friendly and helpful staff.

A superb trip, with a remarkable guide. Richards was passionate about his country, had a wealth of knowledge and a good sense of humour!

All Hotel rooms and breakfast facilities were outstanding

Wonderful hotels excellent service. Worth every penny wanted to go to China for many years it did not disappoint.

The hotel rooms in Chengdu and Xi'an were fantastic; in fact we had an apartment within the hotel in Xi'an. The breakfasts in all hotels were plentiful with enough choice for everyone. Staff in all hotels were helpful and generally friendly.

all hotels fab some better than others luxurious all clean and adequate especially xian and chengdu where amazing throughly enjoyed my stay . Some complained about size in Beijing after previous hotels I found it more than adequate clean breakfast very good . Which is all that's needed

The hotel in Beijing is in need of a bit of attention in the bathrooms. All the other hotels were excellent.

Upgraded rooms were superb and all rooms met our expectations.

Could not fault hotels. Mercury were faultless throughout had a fabulous experience

All Hotels were good in some we had our rooms upgraded and these were excellent

Fabulous hotels. Our tour guide Risa was excellent, couldn't have asked for anything better

Wonderful holiday, Jason the guide was excellent.

Could not ask for more. Breakfasts and sleeping accommodation could not be improved upon. Guides were fantastic & couldn't do enough for everyone - Max went over and above to ensure all in his group were catered for to maximise their China experience (including special dietary requirements). Food incredible! Sights amazing! So pleased I chose Mercury - I have already recommended the company to friends and work colleagues. Now looking where to go to next year with Mercury!

Cruise ship a bit tired. All hotels good. Tibet, Chengdu and Titan Times, Xian were excellent.

All hotels used with the exception of the Landmark in Beijing exceeded expectations we would describe The Landmark as satisfactory.

Amazing holiday and amazing value for money

Hotels were outstanding, especially the Titan Times Hotel.

We had lovely hotel accommodation with excellent breakfast.

Hotels were excellent. Rooms were big and well equipt and staff were friendly and helpful

All the hotels were very good. The last one in Beijing rooms were smaller than the others but still good however, the breakfast there had the best selection.

We stayed in several hotels - all 4 or 5 star. In some, we even had free room upgrades as with Mercury which was a nice touch. Breakfast was plentiful at all, though some were very busy such as in Shanghai and Beijing. Only little thing missing is milk and western style tea in the room - coffee sachets were provided, but access to a cuppa would have helped after such a busy schedule.

All met and in some cases exceeded expectations. Tibet hotel in Cengdu was particularly good as guide secured an upgrade at no extra cost.

Hotels were excellent. Clean, tidy and well presented. Beds comfortable. Hot water available at all times. Breakfasts had good choice of well prepared food. Staff were attentive and helpful. No complaints whatsoever.

the hotels were very good its a shame we were not given enough time to use the facilities, as every day was packed with sightseeing and often too late back to use the spa the Tibet Hotel stands out head and shoulders above the others the tour was spectacular. every day packed with new experiences and sights. we went with a preconceived set of views and had our eyes opened. China is a marvellous mix of ancient heritage and technological marvels

Very pleased with all the hotels - thank you As a solo traveller, I felt very safe being on an Escorted tour

superb, especially Tibetan hotel upgrade

Very well organised trip with plenty to see & do, accompanied all the way by a very knowledgeable national guide who not only told us the history of different historic sites but also gave us an insight of modern China while keeping it light & entertaining. Everything was arranged which made the internal flights & train rides so much easier than if you do it alone. All & all very pleased real value for money.

Most hotels were of a good standard with helpful staff. With exception of the Titan Hotel in Xian which was really excellent. The staff went above and beyond what could have been expected. This was the best of the whole trip.

All Hotels of a very high standard.

This tour was excellent throughout, Max the tour guide was brilliant at his job and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Hotels were excellent, all had good facilities and breakfast options, rooms were spacious and very nice. The Shanghai night cruise and Chengdu cultural shows were both excellent.

The China guide Ann was excellent.

Had a great time, every day was good for me as a lone traveler.

Our tour guide Ann Le was exceptional, went the extra mile, funny, informative, enthusiastic. She really made the holiday a memorable one.

All good standard especially when you consider total cost of tour great value for money

The quality of the hotels and their locations were excellent. I was very pleased with all aspects of the trip to China. In particular i must praise our tour guide Alen, who was extremely well I, great experience/ knowledge and a great manner/ sense of humour. He went to great lengths to accommodate all interest, ages and abilities of our group. The local guides were also excellent.
The river cruise was an interesting experience, very comfortable and clean. The restaurants used did their best to provide us with a wide selection of dishes. As a confident single traveler, i have been to many places, i felt that I alone in China was beyond me. Thank you Mercury for giving me such a wonderful experience.

Good hotels used, especially the Tibet hotel in chengdu which was excellent. Overall an excellent tour and our guide max was very good, we felt safe and well looked after. Really enjoyed it and we would not hesttiate in booking with mercury again. Thank you

Very happy staff. We had a wonderful holiday A great way to get a taste of China.

Really enjoyable holiday. Our guide Max went above and beyond his duties, to ensure everyone had a great holiday.

All hotels were very good standard

All hotels are great and beds are comfy! Brilliant breakfast selection.

Every aspect of the tour was first class from Allen international guide who was amazing. Everything ran smoothly, quality of tours, guides, Hotel and itinerary. Excellent tour i cannot fault anything, i truly had an amazing trip and i cannot recommend you enough. Well done i will book with you again soon.

All hotels were of a good standard.

all Hotels were excellent especially the choice at Breakfast.

All hotels excellent with high standard rooms and facilities.

All hotels were great especially Tibet Hotel

The guide Max was incredibly good, Knowledgeable, helpful and considerate and a real gem. Everything on the tour was on time, no rushing about.

Max our guide was marvelous throughout, giving us daily updates on weather timings, meals etc. The guides all had a very high knowledge base and pleasant manor. We felt in safe hands at all times, the coach drivers were brilliant too. The cruise ship was brill and the tour covered all that we wanted to see.

Good hotels throughout the tour

All the hotels were very good especially in Chengdu and Xian. All rooms were quiet and clean and staff very helpful All breakfasts were excellent

The rooms were excellent

A couple of the hotels, The Tibet in Chengdu and the Titan Times in Xi'an, were excellent but all accommodation was very good. No complaints at all. I was a single traveller and very impressed with the accommodation provided.

Generally of a very high standard with good size rooms/facilities/ breakfast. Good locations

Excellent standard of hotels, with good locations and facilities.

Great hotels , good rooms , Breakfast very good

Overall the hotels were extremely good.

Allen our tour guide was absolutely brilliant and along with our group made the holiday very memorable.

Good standard of hotel.

All hotels were excellent

First class hotels, easily exceeded our expectations given the cost of the holiday. Also, room upgrades where possible free of charge. Could not criticise any aspect of the hotel selection.

Titan and Tibet hotels were excellent with great breakfasts. Would have been nice to just eat in hotel for dinner instead of being dragged out to inferior restaurants each evening.

Overall the hotels were excellent in Shanghai, Chengdu and Xian. Beijing hotel is in a great location but needs some updating, though it had the best breakfast selection. Overall good selection of western breakfasts. We are glad that we booked the Executive room upgrade on the Yangtze Cruise. The room was very spacious, the dining room was relaxed, quiet with a great selection of food. Their was also a spa and swimming pool which we used.

Very good standard of hotels throughout the stay. All conveniently located very clean and tidy. All close to local supermarkets / grocery stores to pick up snacks and milk for my tea ;-) Couldn't have asked for any better hotels.

Spot on for comfort and breakfasts.

The hotels in Shanghai, Xian and Chengdu were good but the one in Beijing was cramped and the ensuite bathroom had mould on the walls. The induite toilet on board cruise ship were of poor quality.

All hotels were as good as, or better than expected. All the staff were friendly, efficient and courteous. In particular he Tibet Hotel in Chengdu was beautiful and full of character.

No complaints about any of the hotels used

All hotels excellent however room cleaning in the Landmark Beijing needs improving. Surfaces sticky and dusty.

Wonderful accommodation throughout.

Carefully chosen good clean hotels

The Dorsett Grand in Chendu have a system that links your room key to your floor so you can only travel to that floor, we were not told this on arrival and it was not helpful when the lift door closed on my partner with our cases and he was unable to get back to our floor. He had to go back down to the lobby and ask the lobby staff to take him back up.

The hotels used were excellent in terms of service and breakfast. Indeed rooms were of an excellent size

All very good for the price. All checking in already done, very good. All breakfasts very good.

Hotels were clean and apart from the boat and the Degree 8 in Hong Kong quite luxurious. The staff in all the hotels were very friendly, helpful and polite food was very good but it would have been good to have more western food available for some meal times. The Boat Dining room was at all meal times heaving with people pushing and shoving it may be better to select tablesxa few at a time to prevent accidents spillage and buffet tables becoming very messy.

With the exception of the bejing hotel the rest were excellect. The bejing hotel (landmark towers) was very dirty (excrement in the toilet from the previous guest and diry room) the smell of cigarette smoke in the room was unbearable even though it was a non smoking room.

The hotels were all very good, and we were fortunate to have rooms upgraded in Chengdu and Xi'an. The breakfasts taken in the hotels offered extensive choices and the staff were all efficient and courteous.

Loved the upgrades to suites - hotels good and breakfasts good

Upgrades were most appreciated - really good hotels all the way through. Western breakfasts available everywhere - could not have been better looked after.

Pace of tour was hard but necessarily so to complete the itinerary.

generally excellent & breakfasts very good. bedroom in Landmark Beijing a bit tired

All hotels used were of excellent quality, comfortable and spacious rooms.

Hotel selections was very good

Could not fault any hotel for quality, cleanliness or service.

Very good quality hotels with very large rooms apart from Landmark in Beijing which by contrast seemed small but the hotel was very good. Breakfasts at all the hotels were excellent.

General concern about lack of emergency escapes. Some hotels seemed to have only one central staircase.

The hotels were of excellent standard although the Titan Times hotel was a little 'tired' and the carpet in the lounge are very grubby.

Shanghai ocean hotel large very comfortable beds good breakfast Tibet hotel Chengdu five star rooms enormous beds and pillows very comfortable Titan times hotel Xi’an luxurious in every way Raddison blu instead of landmark which was being used for the party conference this hotel had lovely breakfasts with fresh smoked salmon but we thought the rooms were in need of repair and a little tired our wardrobe doors kept falling off the runners but the beds and pillows were first class

All the hotels we''re of a good standard

The hotel's were excellent ,clean and had coffee and tea making facilities. Staff were attentative and western breakfast adequate. Towels changed each day and rooms cleaned.

All hotels were very good, not only the hotels but the service as well. The yangtze 2 cruise ship needs updating but still a good cruise.

All hotels were welcoming with good quality rooms and service.I feel it is important to have comfortable hotels of this quality when on a touring holiday as it helps relaxation.

All excellent locations, with 4/5* facilities and superb breakfast choices. We especially enjoyed the Tibet Hotel in Chengdu, which had luxurious bathrooms and extra little touches such as top quality toiletries and TV in the bathroom.

The hotels in Chengdu and Xi'an were absolutely beautiful. Very high quality throughout the tour.

All the hotels were superb 4 or 5 star

Locations of hotels not so good but made up for with good quality rooms and facilities.

Hotels were of a good standard with good choices at breakfast.

The Tibet hotel was excellent.The others were good. The upgrade on the ship was worth the extra.

All really good quality. Breakfasts were really good with western style included. Plenty of choice to suit all tastes.

No complaints about any of the hotels - all really good and probably better than expected.

Some of the hotels need cleaning better like the Titan times hotel

Hotels we're all amazing. Great size rooms. Great service. Clean throughout

All the hotels on our trip were great. One was an alternative but on par with all the others

Very high standard, especially Titan Times.

Excellent accomodation throughout the tour

The Tibet & Titan Times Hotels were exceptional and we were very pleased to have the upgrade. Staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast very good, rooms very comfortable and luxurious. Landmark Hotel was good, excellent breakfast, staff friendly. Bit mean with the loo paper! The Ocean Hotel in Shanghai was a disappointment compared to the others. Although 5* the staff were unfriendly, breakfast room very small and couldn't cope with the number of guests. Our room had a view of a concrete wall only 6' from the window, mattresses very hard, heating didn't work properly and no hairdryer. It didn't feel like a 5* compared to the others. Although adequate, not nearly as good as the others.

Great hotels. A touch of luxury

The only thing which affected the quality of the hotels was the fact that a lot of the bedding smelled of smoke.

A very good all round experience. Our guide Alan was brilliant - spoke good English and made sure everything ran smoothly. He gave us sufficient information on the history and culture of China and what to be looking for at each stop on the tour, without overburdening us.

Beautiful hotels, absolutely no complaints at all. Our tour was made so great as a result of our brilliant tour leader Max, he was fantastic and I cant rate him highly enough!

The tour is excellent value for money. We researched a number of holidays to China and this was the best value by far. We would use Mercury again. Hotels were excellent value for money. All were really comfortable.

Great hotels - clean with attentive staff - good breakfasts each morning. Excellent star ratings.

Excellent value for money and attention to detail. Everything went to plan. All travel arrangements went like clockwork and we could not fault hotels. They felt like 5 star and the staff were pleasant and helpful.

It was a wonderful experience. I can recommend this holiday to anyone with even the slightest interest in China. You do need to like Chinese food.All hotels were of a good standard.

This is the first time I have travelled on my own, usually I travel with friends. The saving on the no single supplement is a huge advantage as I am a widow. Enjoyed the tour immensely and will certainly consider travelling with Mercury Holidays again, many thanks

The overall tour guide was excellent and looked after the group extremely well. The quality of the tour guide has a critical role in optimising the activities and met the challenge! Overall, the hotel accommodation was excellent.

What a great tour. All hotels good standard and the rooms were brilliant.

The itinerary was very good. It was a fantastic trip made especially wonderful by our interesting, knowledgeable and humorous guide. The itinerary was really good and local guides were also very helpful and knowledgeable. Richard the guide went out of his way to accommodate everyone he gave over and above. The hotels were all clean and the food was a good quality and variety.

Thank you, we had a great experience in China. It was a fantastic trip. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. We are very happy customers.

The holiday of a life time. Guide Max was outstanding. All hotels provided an extensive good breakfast, more than adequate rooms with shower, bath etc. Service of staff really good.

All Hotels of excellent standard. The tour guide Max was excellent with vast knowledge, and nothing was too much trouble.

What can I say about this tour other than utterly ideal. All hotels were as they should have been for this sort of tour, the accommodation on the Yangtze River was beyond expectations. Everything from ticket issue, transfers, internal flights, train journeys all perfection and all ran that way due to our tour guide. I cannot commend Alan our guide to you enough, his knowledge and humour were insurmountable. We are very happy with you as a choice of tour operator and would certainly recommend you and we look forward to our next booking with you which might be a Croatian Island Cruise or a Grand Tour of Sri Lanka.

We had a wonderful time, and our guide Max was absolutely brilliant, we had 30 on our tour and he looked after everyone. He was very professional knowledgeable, funny, polite which made our tour really most enjoyable. All the local guides and drivers were also first class.

Had a fantastic time on your tour. The food was good and Max the guide was excellent, very professional.

The hotels were consistently of a good standard. Our national tour guide, in particular, was excellent as were the regional ones that helped out at each location.

We had a fantastic holiday, Richard our guide was excellent.

Beijing hotel could be better... was an anti-climax after the exceptional two in Chengdu and Xi'an!

Our guide Simon was amazing, made our tour with his humour and local knowledge. A well-organised tour to be well recommended. Excellent hotels, varied food, a wonderful holiday.

very good could have been with the rest of the English speaking tourists on the Yangtze River cruise if we wanted this we were asked to pay extra

The hotels were excellent

An excellent tour- so efficiently run and organised- we never even had to wait for our coach it was always there waiting at the designated spot. Local guides polite and helpful and informative All the guides were excellent. Hotels very good and restaurants chosen also very good. Tour guide who accompanied us all the way was particularly good- he catered for our every need and comfort.

All hotels were excellent except for Beijing:

1. The room carpet was dirty.
2. The bathroom fan was very noisy. complained to the room service the following day and later the front desk the forth day but noting was done.
3. There was no replacement toilet roll.
4. The room service lady was insisting she cleaned the room while my wife and I were trying to get ready to go out on our tour.

All of the hotels were excellent

All of a very good standard. Really pleased with them all.

I have returned uninjured from China. Fantastic holiday. The National guide/rep, Simon was extremely efficient, friendly and had a good sense of humour. He made a good trip, great. I really couldn’t fault the holiday, even looking at it with a deliberately jaundiced eye, all the hotels were good, some were great. The only improvement I can think of (and all our group agreed) would be if we could have flown home direct from Beijing rather than have to take an internal flight from Beijing to Shanghai first. When I get around to it I will put a positive review on Trip Advisor.

Every Hotel was excellent with superb locations and services provided.

Three of the hotel rooms were suites which was excellent. Couldn't fault any of the hotels

Just returned from your Wonders of China tour. We had an excellent time and will recommend Mercury to all of our friends and relations. The Hotels, food and transport arrangements were all first class and I would especially like to thank our main tour guide Simon Chow who looked after our party of 32 sometimes awkward Brits and entertained and informed us. He was very helpful and friendly and his organisation and knowledge were superb. I would hope that Mercury can retain his services for for any future tours.

Thank you all at Mercury for providing such an enjoyable and rewarding holiday and are already considering another tour with you in the near future.

This tours was great value with an excellent itinerary.

all hotels were of an excellent standard clean and welcoming

Food good, rooms large and spacious.

The hotels were very good. Need English breakfast tea, sugar and coffee without sugar left in rooms

The hotel at Xion was excellent. The hotel in Beijing was smaller than the others, but still ok but after the previous hotels was short of space. No hotel had specific space for 2 suitcases, just one.

Did not get to use many of hotels facilities because of time restraints but all hotels were first class

Last hotel, the Landmark Towers could have provided an iron & board for the last leg of the tour. Also room a little cramped as we had been pampered in the previous ones. All other Hotels were up to expectation.

good quality hotels. very comfortable. Good service International breakfast's Top rate.

All hotels were excellent

All the hotels were very good.

Hotels 5* except Beijing & Honking but these were excellent
