Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.

China is the world’s fourth largest country and has many different landscapes ranging from deserts to soaring mountains and long coastlines. Although the weather can be very different depending on which part of China you visit, it’s summer in August and this is one of the hottest months of the year across the country. It’s also the wet season for most regions, and some places see quite a lot of rain at this time.

In Shanghai on the east coast, the average temperature’s 29ºC in August, with highs of 32ºC and lows of 25ºC at night.
