Simorama Holidays vs Nexus Holidays vs Odyssey Tours
 
Has any one booked a tour to China and Thailand using either of these 3 companies? We are looking at booking a tour in January and would love to hear your comments???The first 2 companies offer great pricing, but Odyssey offers independent tours, which is great rather than being apart of a large bus tour. Love to hear your comments.
Thanks,
Rob

Do you want a group tour? If not, don't take one. This trip can easily be arranged on your own.

I agree with Kathie -- you can easily visit these places independently. And there are many advantages to doing so!

At one extreme you have Sinorama with the cheaper tour. Fast pace, boring food and shopping stops. But some people do not mind this. Check comments here: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowTopic...urs-China.html
If you do a private tour with China Odyssey, then you do not have to deal with a large group and you have more control on the itinerary. You obviously pay more for them. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attractio...s-Beijing.html
I have not heard much about Nexus but I think that they offer a similar experience to Sinorama.

Here's a relatively recent thread on Sinorama, which I recommend even though I thoroughly embarrassed myself in the course of this (old) thread:
