China tour company- Swain?
 
We did a great independent trip to Oz-NZ a few years back with Swain-Australia. A year or so later, their parent company Far and Wide went belly-up.(though not Swain Australia itself). Now we're planning a trip to China ande I see Swain is doing both escorted and independent tours there. Anyone have any info on this? I'd love to use them again.
Thanks.

I'm also contemplating a trip in April. Thought that I had already tried all of the agencies :) Thanks for recommending this one. Looks good. I googled Swain Tours and got this: http://www.swainaustralia.com/

Hi chinovice!
If you go to my messages and pull up #14, you'll read a bit more about our trip through Swain. (Hope this works!)
They really did a good job for us - Oz and NZ too.

Hi Gail,

Sorry - didn't get any message? What message and where did you send it?
Still waiting for an answer to my email to Swain...

It may not be best for me because their tour is Beijing to Shanghai - as are most of them - and I really want Beijing to Hong Kong.

Hi chinovice-
Sorry- my message covered our trip to Oz and NZ, not China, so it probably wouldn't interest you right now.
(if you hit on my screen name, you'll get my messages and replies)
Re China, I did notice that several travel agencies offered extensions to Hong Kong from Shanghai.
