Amazing China
Our trip to China was to be our retirement holiday of a lifetime so we wanted 2 – 3 weeks that would truly immerse us in the culture and history of the Country and its people. Planning started 18 months in advance but none of the brochures from the specialist companies offered quite what we wanted so we started to wonder if we could afford a bespoke service on our budget.

Our trip to China was to be our retirement holiday of a lifetime so we wanted 2 – 3 weeks that would truly immerse us in the culture and history of the Country and its people. Planning started 18 months in advance but none of the brochures from the specialist companies offered quite what we wanted so we started to wonder if we could afford a bespoke service on our budget. We contacted Eastravel knowing that they specialise in Asia but not really believing that we could get a one to one tour for what we could afford. However, Dorothy Heng totally understood what we wanted to achieve and arranged the perfect experience for us. When we ‘discovered’ Zhangjiajie less than four months before we were due to fly and wanted to rearrange half of our tour, Dorothy took this in her stride, cancelling and rebooking hotels and all of the other arrangements. A tour guide met us at every location and each one spoke good to excellent English. We had a complete range of hotels, as requested, from a new five star hotel to a 200 year old charismatic, traditional hotel in the Beijing Hutongs with a rural, boutique hotel converted from traditional farm buildings on the way.
Rating for tour operator:We cannot recommend Eastravel highly enough. We are a discerning couple who know what we want and Eastravel delivered this in spades. I would not hesitate to use their quality service again.
Thank you very much for this excellent feedback.

Rating for tour operator:Eastravel are the perfect specialist TO. A small friendly company very knowledgable and efficient. They helped us create our dream visit to Vietnam & Cambodia. Documents were clear and the complicated itinerary was tailor made for us. Our fabulous three week holiday adventure went almost exactly to plan. I highly recommend Eastravel.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. It is much appreciated, and I am glad you had such a nice holiday. Do let us know when you are ready to start planning your next adventure.
Bali / Singapore experience
This holiday involved a 12 stay in 3 different areas of Bali and a final 4 day stay in Singapore. The link agents in Bali in Bali were Panorama, we were met in Bali by local rep, who advised us to take a look at a couple of places before we arrived at our hotel which we reluctantly did, due to long flight travel from U.K. to Bali I felt he was keen for us to spend some money at a couple of tourist attractions like local sherong factory and silver ...
This holiday involved a 12 stay in 3 different areas of Bali and a final 4 day stay in Singapore. The link agents in Bali in Bali were Panorama, we were met in Bali by local rep, who advised us to take a look at a couple of places before we arrived at our hotel which we reluctantly did, due to long flight travel from U.K. to Bali I felt he was keen for us to spend some money at a couple of tourist attractions like local sherong factory and silver factory. I'm sure he wanted to share local crafts whilst on route to hotel. The locations we stayed at were excellent our favourite location was Gill Meno which was superb experience. We undertook to organised trips with local hosts Panorama, but were good the representatives were very good Particularly Sanglah whose knowledge of traditions and history of temples was very impressive tour B. The only disappointment with tour A was we were expected to access the temple fountain where tourists were given opportunity of entering the temple of youth for the ritual of bathing and washing we advised that we could not undertake this and would need this would need to be arranged separately
Rating for tour operator:Eastravel coordinated everything excellently from UK and details of locations and hotel standards were spot on. We enjoyed Gili Meno stay particularly which Cathy recommended to us. Thumbs up Cathy excellent location
Singapore & Malaysia
This holiday was to both revisit after living and working there for 2 years some 50 years ago as a single man and to gain new experiences both myself and my wife.

Fantastic trip
We enjoyed every minute of a very well organised trip which gave us plenty of sightseeing and also time to sit and enjoy the great hotels and pools. So much to see with good guides explaining it all . All transfers were prompt.

Rating for tour operator:Trip was organised so well by Cathy of East Travel who listened to what we wanted and arranged it all very well. She told all the hotels that the trip was for our Golden Wedding and there all gave us roses on the bed, champagne and cakes!!!
