“Physically not easy at times (quite a bit of hiking and walking around with your backpack in the heat, and comfort levels are quite low both in overnight trains and hotels) but definitely rewarding. Would definitely recommend it to others.”
“This was an excellent trip, well organised, well thought out, with travel times between destinations allowing for enough time to fully appreciate the experience. Our guide (Dennis) was exceptional, passionate about his country, it's history, it's politics, it's culture, and clealry enjoyed emersing us in our experiences. The children had a fantastic time discovering a new culture and ways of living, they learnt to speak some chinese, tried new foods that they would never dream of trying at home, and learnt to appreciate thier own culture a lifestyle.”
“Excellent trip and highly recommended. It would be impossible to see and do as much as we did within the time scale if you were an independent traveller in china. It's an intense journey full of noise , smells and colours. We left with so many wonderful memories and it's a journey that will never be forgotten.”
“A wonderful adventure! We really got a good feel for how modern China is developing (William was very informative and honest). It was inspiring to find that the Chinese are so proud of their country's past and present acheivements (their perceivement of it anyway). It was wonderful to see the elderly in the parks enjoying themselves and their friendliness was unexpected. I have taken home a great respect for Chinese people and their traditions. ”
“An illuminating and often astonishing introduction to a populous, exponentially developing, hugely impressive but also contradictory country. A week after coming home, I am still processing the experiences and thinking about everything we saw.”
“A great trip with a real insight into everyday life in China. We enjoyed the variety of activities from sunrise on the Great Wall to the cooking school, panda hug and market shopping. Generally the hotels were of a good standard and the food great.”
“It was an awesome, fantastic adventure. A packed itinery with the most wonderful experiences, never to be forgotten, to be treasured for many years to come, by young and old alike. ”
“This was a fantastic holiday and exceeded my expectations! All aspects of the holiday went smoothly and we all had so much fun too. I cannot thank our tour guide Denis enough. I am hoping to travel with Exodus again.”

Travel Tips
For the true Hong Kong experience, take a day or two to leave the urban jungle behind. Hong Kong has plenty of countryside, full of beautiful national parks, beaches and hiking trails that any nature lover will enjoy.
Getting around Hong Kong is incredibly easy, with 9 in 10 commuters using public transportation. Grab yourself a paper map (or load yourself a digital one) and take advantage of the efficient train, subway, bus and tram links.
Hong Kong was a British colony up until 1997, so many people speak English. Otherwise, Hong Kongers speak Cantonese, a specific and distinct language from Mandarin.
While Hong Kong is incredibly humid, this also means most shops, restaurants and hotels use air conditioning - and lots of it. Always bring something to cover up in to fight the chill when moving inside.
Hong Kong is a foodie’s paradise, with one restaurant for every 300 people. While you should absolutely try some local dishes, like fish balls and dim sum, you’ll find just about every kind of cuisine imaginable.
