...quite good on the TV adverts, but that doesn't mean anything

several, and they are very good. Generally wine and beer is included with dinner, excursions are included, the only think that isn't is tips (because they have American customers).

Always worth looking out for discounts, though; you can probably get one for two thirds of the brochure price, less if you're lucky. Try subscribing to their email notifications.

My wife and I have just come back from our holiday in China (13 days, including five cruising the Yangtze). Five star hotels in three cities, Shanghai, Xian and Beijing. All excursions are included in price, drinks with meals also included. A very knowledgeable guide (who stays with you throughout the trip). We had a brilliant time, worth every penny.
