What travellers say about the Beijing · Xian · Shanghai trip
“Explera planned our Beijing holiday end to end — flights, 4★ boutique & agriturismo, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.”

“Our solo travel to Beijing was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 8-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.”
