Asia Art architecture Trips

This trip was brilliant. It covered the main tourist sites all in one go, from stunning scenery at Gulin to Yangshou to beautifully crafted architecture and temples in Xian and Beijing. The people were friendly and the food was fantastic. My highlights were the boat to Yangshou and the country lanes bike ride - the contrast of the paddy fields and Karsts, such beautiful scenery. I could have spent 2 more days in Xian, there is so much to see. What we saw was spectacular - the only complete city wall left in China, the beautiful buddhist art at the Wild Goose Pagoda, the serene Great Mosque and the stunning Terracotta Army. I didn't want to leave and I'll definitely go back to see more of this fascinating country.

The pace of the tour was great. There were interesting places, people, experiences and excitement at every point. of the tour. Our leader, Jamie was very knowledgeable but. didn't pressure us with too much information. I had a great time. I. didn't find the pace over-whelming, but took a couple of easy options later in the tour (I'm over 70).

Highlights of Japan tour was excellent. The tour was organized, well planned. Hotel selections were excellent. Centrally located, clean and comfortable. Tour guide Jaimie and assistant Konako were the best. We could not have asked for a better tour guide team. They went above what was expected. They gave excellent information about the tour and sites we visited. They made sure we were safe and comfortable. Thank you Jaimie and Konako. I highly recommend this tour.

The itinerary was very well paced with good start times each morning that never felt too rushed. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and comfortable throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Having all the details organized made for a very relaxing and stress-free tour.

Booking process was simple online. Response was very quick. I was happy with the small group size. The Tour Leader was excellent. The hotels were good, although not close to the centre or any interesting areas. The itinerary was well chosen, and wasn't too frantic.

The tour was excellent, with Tola being a great tour leader (and photographer), with Joseph an excellent local guide in Phnom Penh. All transfers were very comfortable and the iced towels a godsend! Meeting hotel a perfect spot near the palace and with the pool, and in Siem Riep an easy walk to the centre of town. I especially wanted to call out the fact that the tour ended up running only for me. I really appreciated the heads up in advance that this was likely to be the case, as I know it wouldn't have suited some people, but I'm doubly grateful you allowed the tour to go ahead for me regardless given the fact that my travel was all booked as part of a more extended trip based on the original dates. Tola was very flexible and some changes had to be made because of the security situation anyway, but being solo allowed for a particularly unique experience. I know the guides / drivers etc have their income supplemented by tips, so I do hope some consideration was given to them for accommodating such a small 'group' other than my own. Obviously all of the sites seen were as advertised and expected, and visiting Cambodia was a wonderful experience. Thank you!
