High Quality, Great Value, First Class Escorted Tours
Welcome to China, a country I love. In August 1975 I escorted my first tour into China and have been back 46 times since. I have enjoyed the privilege of being able to open new borders on the Trans Mongolian in 1979, across Tibet to Nepal, from Xinjiang to Kazakhstan,from Kashgar to Islamabad on the Karakorum Highway into Pakistan, and in more recent years the amazing development as China powers ahead. I invite you to explore, experience, and enjoy China with us, in comfort...

CANTERBURY CALLS
On the 4th September, 2010 Christchurch was hit by an earthquake that damaged the city. Further aftershocks including a major one on the 26th December continued to rattle the residents. On the 22nd February, 2011 a 6.3 magnitude quake caused extensive damage throughout the central city and eastern suburbs, and, tragically, loss of life. Then again in June the residents were rattled with another major aftershock and more damage.
Christchurch is damaged but not destroyed. Now the people of Christchurch need your help to get their businesses up and running, cash flowing, employment protected, and new hope for a revitalised city.
Our 7 day/6 night CARING HEARTS - HELPING HANDS tour includes 4 nights in Christchurch and most of the attractions that have re-opened plus a 2 night tour to Hanmer Springs, and Kaikoura.
