    Well, I should'nt be so hard on myself if I can't speak Mandarin, right? LOL. So wouldn't recommend…read morefor non-Asians, or if you are looking for any specials. Elva barely could speak English but managed to get a quote from her for NY, Feb 19th Departure fr Van, so that's nice. But not the price of $585, all in. About 4 agents here. no amex

    Highly dissatisfactory experience (including a scam)…read more I don't normally write reviews, but I am extremely upset right now because we've been severely taken advantage of. I am still overseas, in China, as of the time of writing this review. We just barely finished our 6 day tour two days ago. I couldn't find the Tian Bao Travel Agency page for my local establishment, so instead I'm writing out my thoughts for this very same unethical company in a different location. As other reviewers have mentioned, throughout the duration of the tour, the tour guide takes you to many places to buy overpriced tea, pearls, jade, and silk goods. You may think that you have the restraint to not purchase items that you didn't even intend to buy in the first place, but the unassuming tourist can easily fall prey to their pushy ways and sweet talk. The tour guide and his accomplices have very practiced mouths and know exactly what to say to encourage heavy spending. They play upon your psychological weaknesses. Each day, a new salesperson native to the city you are visiting "fattens" you up (so to speak) about a product famous to that city. This benefit and that benefit (for health products like tea) or how husbands should spoil their wives (for jade and pearls) or Chinese people really value health and spending now is better than it being too late (traditional Chinese herbs). My family and I all agreed that we wouldn't buy jewelry or silk because we have plenty and are in no need, but the aggressive salespeople at these stores and the "buttering up" resulted in thousands of dollars spent. When we attempted to say no and fend off certain salespeople, they persisted and wouldn't relent and said things along the lines of "health being number one" or "ignoring health now could cause regret later" while knowingly selling us products marked up by several times. My dad would reluctantly agree just to leave without being rude. The tour guide and these city natives would pretend to be our friends and say that they'll try to fetch us the best price. In retrospect, they have so many customers, it must be something they say to everyone. The kicker of it all is the scam on the last day. We were sold fake items at a "lower" price on the pretense of being friends and being Chinese (and not foreigners). This article (written four years ago) retells it accurately: https://medium.com/indian-thoughts/how-we-got-scammed-out-of-100-000-in-shanghai-fbfbc6954549 Almost all of the elements of this story are exactly what happened to us (and at the same jade store). All in all, do NOT join this travel agency. They have unscrupulous business practices and prey on people of all ages, worst of all the elderly. (We joined the 6 day Jiangnan tour visiting the following cities: Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Shanghai)
