The Best of China by SmarTours
Nice Trip
With Smarttours, my wife and I booked a trip called “The Best of China”. The price of the trip seemed reasonable. However, they failed to warn about the cost of getting a Chinese visa. They recommended a company call CIBTvisa and we filled out the application and submitted our passports to them. From their website it appeared that the process would cost us about $250 per person. We just got our invoice and the total cost was $851. I feel like I have been sucker-punched. I am so angry. This rip-off has spoiled my excitement for the upcoming trip. I blame smart tours for not warning travelers of this cost. I don't know if CIBTvisa is typical of Visa services or not. I would hate to think that the other services out there could be worse. If you are thinking about going to China, just be aware of the Visa problem

Frank was an excellent guide
Frank was an excellent guide who really made the trip. The sites were all amazing and we had just the right amount of time to see them. The only disappointment was Hong Kong but that was not the fault of Explore.
