China and Mongolia Tours and Trips

Just returned from 13 days trip to Zhangjiajie-FengHuang arranged by Zeva Yan. Both my daughter and I had a great experience with the trip plan, especially when she professionally handled the last minute change of hotel location to cater our need. This was beyond our expectation. Last but not least, our tour guide lady Olivia, also did a superb job in dealing with my limitation. Every time She tried to find an easier and better route for me with less climbing up down the stairs. She even offered her hand to help me along the way. I am very touch by her patient and caring. Overall I had a great experience from the start to finish.

We had a great time on our tour in China. The guides and drivers were very kind and professional, and the guides spoke excellent English. This was our first time using this agent, Jasmine was excellent to work with. She provided great communication and was very responsive to questions I asked. The whole tour was well organised. I would recommend both AOT and Jasmine to any one looking to book a tour through them.

I went on a 5d/4n Yangtze River cruise from Yichang to Chongqing. The cruise ship was relatively new and the cabin was clean and comfortable. There was enough food selection to cater for everyone’s tastes. The crew members were very helpful and polite, one (Cindy) even helped me get the food for every meal. There were also enough activities on board like movies, spa etc if one opted out of land excursions. The land excursions were very enjoyable. Despite my temporary restricted mobility, I was assisted in getting on and off the ship and when the wheelchair was required, the staff members offered to help in pushing it. Thalia from AOT had been exceptionally helpful, advising me on which land excursion was not suitable for me and even sent a requested foldable stool to the hotel for my use in the shower on our extended 2-day stay in Chongqing post cruise. Overall, this cruise had been a very good and pleasant experience for me.

Mongolia is an amazing country and this tour offers you the possibility to sample the central part. It is diverse in landscapes and experiences and you will meet welcoming people. Be prepared and read carefully the itinerary, this trip brings you out of your comfort zone! It is a real adventure! The walks are fabulous but it is not flat; most of the ger have shared bathrooms; it can be cold in the ger during the night and in the morning depending when you travel; the food is different but not that much and ultimately, expect driving on bumpy tracks but really it’s a great experience because you can stop for animals and birds and see how locals live. A new paved route will open in October 2025 and others are being built, so go to Mongolia as soon as possible because it will all change quickly.

The trip overall was incredible! Every aspect was planned out and coordinated, and as a trip manager was incredible. Very good balance of fun and informative, whilst also staying on top of it the entire time. China is such a beautiful country, and everyone should go and explore it if they ever get the chance. Highly recommended!!

An awesome variety of Great Wall walking - the best part of the trip. Challenging at times but more than doable for the moderately fit. Fantastic to get away from the usual busy parts of the wall and have the chance to get away from it all. Spectacular!
