Reviews of our Chengdu Tours for Summer
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Chengdu during Summer.
Janice P | Traveled in July
This was my first G Adventure and it won't be my last.. It was so nice to have all the planning done for us, especially with all the permits required. The pace of the tour was good, we had time to ourselves and time with the group. The guides were professional and fun and took excellent care of us.
Tee Shallo | Traveled in July
I like free and easy trips. But for some local detailed arrangements related to itinerary/activities in various countries, it can be rather challenging. My trip to Yangtze River cruise and travel between Chongqing and Yichang involved details that I am not familiar. Olivia helped me to do the booking, train ticketing, route planning etc. The trip was smooth going without any hiccups. Additional related information and continuous support by Olivia throughout my trips was excellent. Tee from Singapore

Tibet was a magical place, I'm so incredibly glad that GAdventures offered a tour there, I hope that they continue to add more in this incredible country. Our CEO was excellent and made the tour a dream. If anything, I wish this trip had a little more active activities to allow us to experience the nature of this incredible place.
Raymond M | Traveled in June
Tibet is a magical land across a mountain plateau that amazed us at every turn! It was a lifelong dream to finally visit the land of Buddhas, mountains , stupas and monasteries. G Adventures made the trip very special and we highly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Tibet!
Mark F | Traveled in June
It was a fantastic trip with great memories. Howard was a great CEO. I would highly recommend this trip to friends. Hopefully GAdventures increases the tour variety in china. I'd love to go to Zhangjiajie and Chongqing but only the 18 to 30 something tours go there.
Madalyn E | Traveled in June
G Adventures made traveling in China easy! From the research on best routes and destinations to the myriad of included and optional activities, I don't think I could have planned the same trip solo. Our group was also fantastic and I came out of the tour with new lasting friendships. This was my first trip with G and I am excited to plan more!
