Welcome... to a China that will surprise you

In 2008, HELEN WONG'S TOURS is celebrating our 21st Birthday.

It seems like yesterday that Helen Wong's Tours was born from small beginnings in the suburbs of western Sydney. Even back then, I was confident China would inspire and excite the Australian market and I was determined that my passion and knowledge of this unique destination would make it happen.

After 21 years, I have so many fond memories. I will always remember my first visit to China in the mid 1970's, when China was still a bit mysterious and intriguing to the outside world. I felt like a pioneer on a journey of discovery to a country that had not seen many foreigners and was now quietly opening up to the western world. I can still picture the welcoming shy smiles of the locals, feel the charm and essence of their culture and reflect on the beauty of the country. Since then, each year has brought new discoveries and advances in China tourism and I am happy to say that today my passion has never been stronger.

In 2008 I am proud of our continued success and that my desire to take thousands of Australians to China has surpassed my greatest expectations. The successes and achievements of the past 21 years have been made through hard work, a quality product and a strong supportive team in Australia and China. I am a hands on operator and believe that this has helped write our success story. From the basic draft of each programme to the final delivery, I design and guarantee every aspect of our tour operations.

Our coming of age strengthens our commitment as THE China Specialist and I am proud that after 21 years we are still 100% Australian owned and operated.

I feel it is very important to listen to feedback from our clients. With this in mind, there are not a lot of changes to our 2008/09 China programme. Our superb range of travel options still covers the highlights of China, and provide an insight into this magical land and its fascinating way of life. The introduction of our 'Unparalleled Highlights' last year were a great success and seen as a special bonus for clients who travelled with Helen Wong's Tours.

When you have a quality product that works, why change it?

As you are considering a tour of China, my advice is not to choose your tour based on the cheapest price. Look carefully at all the alternatives, inclusions and exactly what is guaranteed by each operator. China is a holiday of a lifetime and I want every visitor to be awestruck, just like I was back in the 1970's and have been ever since.

I invite you to join our year of celebration and experience the fascinating world of China with Helen Wong's Tours - on a journey with more than a few surprises.
