I didn't vote, because I couldn't choose. We went on Enchanted China and had a wonderful time. I chose that trip because I was specifically looking for a China trip. For next year, we are booked on South Africa - I'm a scientist and anything to do with nature really gets me going.
I think your own choice would have to depend on what you are most interested in. China was mostly learning about the culture, some history, some geography, some pandas, some HK
Disneyland. South Africa looks to be mostly about wildlife with some culture. I haven''t looked too much at Viva Italia, so someone who has been on that trip would have to say what that's like.
The possible hang-up I have with China is that most all of the traveling is done by plane. It's Disney and I'm sure it'll be good, however I'm curious about that time on the plane. Would we just be sitting there waiting to get to the next destination????
The flights are not that long, maybe a couple of hours each. Don't forget that the China trip is quite long compared to all the other trips - 13 days. Even though we had the most wonderful time and could have followed our guides around forever, it was good to have some downtime. I think if we'd gone at full throttle the entire 13 days, we would have been exhausted.
Chinese culture is so different from Western culture - I think it would give you the most
unique experience. My guess is that Italy would be interesting, the food would be great, but since Italian culture is more a part of mainstream Western culture, more like the foundation of Western culture of course, it wouldn't be as
different as China.
I hope you can make sense of my ramblings. Good luck with your decision.
