Virtuoso is a by-invitation-only organization so its over 300 agencies in 22 countries must have established their recognition and reputation over a long time, which ensures the quality and service of their programs.It is not surprising to see that Ms. Kristi Jones, the President of Virtuoso, were selected as one of the TOP 25 influential women in the travel industry by Forbes.
After talking about all the positive things about these three renowned China tour operators, A&K, Absolute and Imperial Travel, I have to point out that their challenges are their prices. A&K considers itself as the ultimate luxury tour operator in the world. Its China programs can easily cost you about $10,000 per person, but when talking about the most luxury tour operator providing the best services, A&K is definitely No.1. You know what, the best guides in China are competing to work for A&K.
I want to say that I don’t like Imperial’s website. I think travel is a piece of art. If a company can not perfectly design its website, they may not be the perfect tailor for the tour programs. Browse both the websites of A&K and Imperial, you may immediately see the difference.
My scores for these Virtuoso tour operators:

Really interesting. I agree that the website of a tour operator can be considered a very important indicator of tour quality.
a couple of thoughts - the photo in your header doesn't really convey China to me. Also, you might integrate some social media tools into your blog - check out other blogs your colleagues have worked on. Good luck! SL
Good suggestion! I am really thinking of implementing those social media tools. Thanks!
