World Spree Travel (Canada)

To my wife and I, going to India was a great adventure and discovery. It was made fascinating, comfortable and fun by Sanjay, our wonderful guide, as well as World Spree’s overall selection of itinerary and hotels. We took the Incredible India tour with the Beijing stopover. Throughout the trip, we were impressed by the value World Spree provides. We’ve traveled with other tour companies and found World Spree to go the extra mile. This was particularly appreciated because India is a complete change of scenery in which every little bit of extra comfort and care makes a big difference.

We just returned from a 17 day tour with ChinaSpree and were amazed at the quality of the experience. We normally are independent travelers and have visited many places in recent years, but decided to try the tour based on some reviews we found on TripAdvisor and Fodor's. Every moment of the experience was thoroughly planned out, the flights, accommodations and guides could not have been better, and the food was reminiscent of eating 3 meals a day in 5 star restaurants. My wife, who is not an adventurous eater, was concerned about the number of Chinese meals, but by the end of the trip had eaten everything in sight, and probably gained a little weight! In summary, our national guide was amazing, and is now considered to be a friend, all the local guides were exceptional, the hotels were typical 5 star accommodations, the sites visited were done well and included locations not normally seen on tours. We found ourselves feeling like royalty throughout the trip and could not find one thing to complain about. The amount of research that went into the locations, the hotels and restaurants had to have been exhaustive and it shows. Most meals were given in private dining rooms, our rooms were huge with western facilities and first class western and Chinese breakfast buffets available and the tours were done on modern, clean buses generally. The visit to the less-crowded section of the Great Wall, the Dragon Spine Terraces, the Li River Cruise were highlights of the trip. The Yangtze River cruise was done in balcony rooms with access to the ala-carte restaurant for dinners and the included excursions were perfect in content and length. Overall, in our opinion, you cannot do better than ChinaSpree, and we are now looking at the tours to India, Southeast Asia and Peru with WorldSpree for future vacations.

I went to India with World Spree in October and had a fantastic time. The price is unbeatable for everything that we had and did. I enjoyed the country so much more than ever imagined. The country is fascinating, and I thank World Spree for providing us with such a wonderful experience. The places we stayed, the food we ate, and all the planned tours were beautiful, tasty, and eye opening. I miss the crazy, yet organized traffic, and the nice people. I want to mention our tour guide, Ashok, because he was the best tour guide I've ever had. He was kind, funny, informative, and always had an answer to our questions. Our bus driver and assistant were also wonderful. Thank you World Spree for a trip I will never forget! I hope to travel again with you in the near future.

Our trip to Beijing, as a family of 5 was a once in a lifetime experience!! World Spree was a huge factor in our trip being so wonderful.

We just returned from a fabulous 16-day private guided tour of China via China Spree.We had not heard of China Spree/World Spree prior to this trip. We researched and researched tour operators prior to committing to China Spree, comparing 10 different tour companies from the most expensive to the least. China Spree was moderate priced and provided everything that the most expensive tour companies offered - excellent hotels (4 and 5 star) in the best locations, great English speaking guides, great food, all expenses included, etc.China Spree handled every step of the way very professionally and explaining everything from our first contact to our return to the USA. They tweaked and tweaked the itinerary to meet every request. (Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Tibet, Yangtze River Cruise and Shanghai).We were very reluctant to send our passports to China Spree but after learning of the nuances and challenges in getting the necessary China visas and permits for Tibet, we decided that was the wisest and most expedient way to go. China Spree handled everything, explained the process in detail and followed through with precision.Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. They made sure we got to see and experience everything we requested from yaks to visiting local homes, viewing architectural wonders, food preferences and tasting, etc.Our accommodations were all four and five star. They were luxurious and within walking distance to great restaurants, shopping and the best sites.And the food - They fed us like royalty! We were provided a wide assortment of foods to try at every meal, accommodating our palate preferences. There was so much food that we began asking for less so we didn't return home looking like happy Buddha's!China Spree made sure we were on a Yangtze River Cruise that accommodated English speaking, western preferences. They made sure we knew that river cruises are not the same as the big cruise ships, but having previously taken a river cruise in Egypt, we understood this. The Victoria Jenna was the newest cruise boat on the Yangtze. It was clean, had good food and very nice. Even the tours off the V Jenna had excellent English-speaking guides. The 3 Gorges and dam were worth the boat trip alone!We had private-guided tours the entire time in China (except during the river cruise). Our tour guides met us at the airport and took care of everything. They provided interesting anecdotes, historical and cultural significance all along the way. They were very knowledgeable, treated us as VIPS and even advised us on when and how much in bartering. Andy in Shanghai was the best tour guide!When we were on the river cruise, the government shut down the air space over all of China for a WWII commemoration holiday. China Spree called us to let us know that we would not be able to fly to Shanghai as planned and gave us options for getting to our next destination - no added cost to us and no loss in itinerary plans. China Spree picked up the entire cost for the changes in transportation, meals and guides. Once we decided which option we would take, they again took care of everything to ensure we would not have to spend one minute worrying about anything.I would highly recommend China Spree to anyone looking for a wonderful, worry-free trip to China.

My wife and I have just returned from an absolutely fabulous and enchanting tour of China provided by China Spree/World Spree. We took the luxury tour- the 18 day China's Imperial Wonders & Yangtze and it was nothing short of incredible. We stayed at 2 Ritz Carlton's and 3 Shangra-La Hotels- all 5 star hotels. The accommodations, the food, the itinerary, the guides and transportation were terrific. As it turned out, we were the only people on our tour, but China Spree continues, regardless of the size (maximum would have been 16). We did a lot of research before taking this trip, and the value you get from China Spree is far better than any other tour you can find. As seasoned international travelers, we have become quite familar with the various tour operators, and China Spree/World Spree are simply fantastic. If you ever wanted to see China, this is the tour to take. We are looking forward to taking other tours provided by World Spree.
