Client Reviews
Our itinerary was perfect- we saw an amazing variety of Chinese life, culture, food, entertainment, art, and world view. Your service everywhere was impeccable. We can’t say enough about how organized the tour was, yet flexible to change if we wanted it to be. We also can’t say enough about the Chinese people we met. Everyone was very friendly and the Chinese seem to love Americans.
Having traveled to Beijing on previous occasions I was skeptical of joining a tour organized by the conference I was attending on my latest trip, but Jeff and the team at Lune Tours organized outings that took us off the beaten path, away from the standard tourist destinations, and provided a view of the city that was contemporary, interesting, fun, and memorable.

Our guests, Dr. Mackool and Mr. McDonald, both commented that their tours were top notch. Thanks to you and the Lune Tours team.
The trip has been marvelous – I am sure you will get some new clients from my friends – I have been raving on email to them. Lijiang was terrific. The guide was very good and the Banyan Tree Hotel was not to be believed. This is a dream trip. Thanks for everything.
Overall, it was a great trip, met fantastic travel mates and Chinese locals, and we are definitely looking forward to the prospect of visiting other areas of China.
