China Signature — Silk Road Discovery

Once-in-a-Lifetime — And We'd Do It All Again Tomorrow

“We've clocked up plenty of air miles, but this China Signature tour was genuinely in a class of its own. Baker arranged a private tai chi session on the Great Wall at sunrise — just the two of us, no crowds. As Aucklanders, we're used to queuing for everything; that one moment of pure silence on the Wall had us both tearing up. The boutique hotels were stunning, the guides passionate, and every day felt curated rather than scripted. If you're on the fence about China, trust me — just book it.”

Sorted From Start to Finish — Couldn't Have Asked for More

“We were quite nervous going to China for the first time, but Lisa had everything sorted before we'd even packed our bags. The itinerary was perfectly paced — enough to see the iconic highlights without feeling herded. The hotels were beautiful, local guides spoke brilliant English, and the included meals were genuinely delicious, not just tourist-friendly. Back in Christchurch now and already missing the dumplings.”

Our Golden Anniversary — Made Absolutely Unforgettable

“We wanted our 50th to be something extraordinary, and Baker exceeded every expectation. A surprise intimate dinner in a lantern-lit Beijing courtyard, a private calligraphy lesson in a hutong, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Coming from Dunedin, we joked we'd miss the cold — but the warmth of the Chinese people and the CTS team more than compensated. If you're celebrating something special, trust CTS to make it magnificent.”
