Supera exceeded our expectations on our 15-day family trip to China. The itinerary was expertly planned, hitting major highlights and hidden gems while avoiding crowds and heat. Our guides, especially Cissy in Beijing, went above and beyond. She even personally ensured our kids' food allergies were accommodated at every meal. The experience felt curated, not touristy, and we visited places off the beaten path. Though premium in price, it was worth every penny - we're already planning our next trip

This was our first time with Super Value Tours [now Supera]. What a surprisingly delightful experience! All credit goes to our tour guide Cissy for her attentive care. From five-star food and accommodations to a five-star guide, we'll definitely join Super Value again.

We were lucky to have Cissy as our guide. She is the most caring and responsible guide I've ever had. She personally took care of every little detail. There's nothing she can't handle, and all our group members loved her!
