  • "A dream trip"
  • It was one year ago today that we left on our fabulous 16 day China trip. We have so many wonderful memories from those 2 weeks. We still talk about all the things we saw, the people we met, the kind, funny guides in each city, and all the food we ate! I wanted to extend another thank you to you and Lotus travel for making it truly a dream trip that we will always remember.
  • -Fondly, Lisa B.



  • Favorite thing was visiting their orphanages... where the official stance is 'no visits'
  • "My daughters both said their favorite thing was visiting their towns and orphanages. I agree, especially since one of the orphanages was in an area where the official stance is "no visits." Both of these visits were truly special and in different ways, more than we had hoped for. For myself and my husband, seeing our children fall in love with China was the best part of all."

  • "Truly, it could not have been better"
  • Just beginning to catch our breath after returning home from our wonderful three week trip and I just wanted to thank you for putting it together. The scheduling was excellent. Train and plane trips were easy and fun. Guides were experienced with families such as ours. Children loved the little gifts. Orphanage visits were vry special. Truly it could not have been better. And at the end the two families agreed – we wouldn't hesitate to do it again! We made so many memories. Thank you for everything!

  • "We will surely recommend Lotus to all our friends,"
  • We had a fabulous trip to China. All the guides were fantastic and reliable. They were always there when we arrived at any station or airport. It was amazing. We really had a chance to see so much of China. We had not really traveled much the first time, when we were meeting our baby! Janey had a very favorable impression of her homeland and the orphanage visit was perfect. Thank you again for a wonderful trip and we will surely recommend Lotus to all our friends.

  • "Thank you doesn't begin to express how grateful we re"
  • We would like to thank Lotus Travel for arranging the most incredible China trip for us! Our family enjoyed the beauty of China and her people for almost three weeks. Every region we visited was unique; and we had a new adventure to experience each day. We really appreciated Lotus' attention to detail. Everything was planned so well and all we had to do was enjoy ourselves! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly; they really went the extra miles and added their personal touches at each stop along our way. Somehow "Thank You" doesn't express how grateful we are for the wonderful heritage tour you had planned for us. This was truly a trip of a lifetime!
  • -Jim, Tish and Ana J.



  • "Thanks for arranging our super trip!"
  • We have returned from China after a super trip, all the arrangements went really smoothly and we had excellent guides. The Welfare Institutes were very welcoming and helpful and pleased to see us, we met up with both sets of foster parents and it was a very moving experience. Thanks for your help and for arranging such a fantastic trip. We hope to return to China in two years' time so we will be in touch again and we will also recommend your company to other UK families.
