What travelers are saying

"My wife and I have just returned from a two weeks holiday travelling around China which was booked via China links. Upon booking we were very surprised to find that we could not find any recent reviews of the company. We were a bit perturbed by this. The reason I am writing this is to say that we had a superb time and we felt that the trip was very well organised. All the reps meet us on time and they were all very knowledgeable. All the hotels were of a reasonable standard. Food was usually chosen by the reps and was very good. China its self was amazing with some fantastic memories. I would definitely recommend China links/ Links travel."

What travelers are saying

"Found company on the internet and we were a bit nervous. Alick Peng put a 12 day tour together for us, our dates didn't fit in with a full guided tour, and it was magnificent. We enjoyed every day, hotels, food and especially the guides, Ayumi especially. The itinerary was first class and we even managed to travel between towns on our own. Tickets, routes, and guidelines were clear and easy to follow. The only time we got lost was trying to get out of Tokyo station. Once again, thanks."
