We chose AVIORA because we wanted a luxury experience, but we didn't want the kind of luxury that keeps you inside a hotel and away from the destination. This was the balance we had been looking for.
Our hotels were genuinely high-end and, importantly, well located. We could come back from sightseeing, shower, rest and then walk out to dinner without needing another car. During the day, however, we were exploring local areas, eating regional food and having conversations with our guide about modern China.
The private vehicle also made the trip feel much easier than expected. We never had to waste time figuring out transport. That meant we had more energy for the actual experiences.
AVIORA made the trip feel refined without making it feel overly formal. That combination worked extremely well for us.
