East Asia Local boat rides 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 Hot Air Balloon over Cappadocia rock formations! Underground Christian city! Great chance to discover a different country than I imagined. Super tour guide shared her insights. Community street cats are beloved, friendly, and well-cared for.

We had a memorable trip - I never knew or expected the beauty of Türkiye. Berna was the most patient, knowledgeable, and witty manager one could have asked for. The two optional experiences The Hammam and the hot air balloon ride) should not be missed. Both were wonderful experiences.

Busy tour, but a great tour. We added a few nights on at the beginning for Hong Kong which I would recommend if you haven't been there before. All the staff at The Panda Hotel in Hong Kong were super friendly, (and the hotel great with shops and restaurants all around), but the hotel itself was quite a way out of the centre, (about a 35 minute metro ride into the centre was only roughly £2). All accomodation better than expected and all other hotels very central, apart from Beijing, but it was close to The Temple of Heaven and Beijing is such an enormous city, (and had to travel anyway to go to The Great Wall etc.). Our guide Ollie from China was excellent, making sure we packed in as much as possible and giving us a real insight into life in China. Generally everyone was much friendly than we expected, and left feeling we had more in common than I was expecting. We could pay for extra tours with Alipay with our guide, and definitely worth downloading the Alipay App before you go, can use the App even to pay for fruit in markets if your bank will allow it to work, but a bit of cash always useful. Colourful, exciting, but safe trip. Felt safe at night markets etc..

This is a great tour. This was my 4th europamundo tour in 2 years and would definitely book another. As a matter of fact I messaged about a swiss austria tour in december while on this one. Yelcin was the beat guide of any tour i have taken. The beat. Amazing knowledge and friendly. Only criticism is time in santorini. Guide was great but bus was 30 min late and we left before breakfast and no time to eat on santorini. Also we only had 10 minutes of free time. Wasnt guides fault as we had to catch boat but this needs to be fixed as santorini was top of my list to see. Also alot of time was wasted dropping off a few at their hotel staying the night. Maybe that could have been done while we toured the island since they spending more time there? It was still magical but an hour of free time would have been nice.Otherwise, what a great tour and a great company to do business. If you ever need a quote for your tours let me know, would rave in favor of europamundo! Below says no optional tours were available but there were 2 in Turkey.

A very fast pace holiday seeing all the major sites along the way. Vast distances covered and every form of transport used from planes, bullet trains, local buses, mini coaches, bike cycle , chair lift, vehicular, travelators, escalators, walkways - overground and underground, underground trains , ferry, boat and walking 176k steps over the 10 days! Hotels a high standard and the food great. The service was fantastic with an extremely knowledgeable guide who kept us updated, on the move and to time. This is a ‘highlight’ tour so one only spend a few hours at each major sight but at least you see them all. The people were lovely where ever we went. Security is tight wherever we went and one needs one’s passport with you at all times. Alipay is essential in China but doesn’t work for foreigners in Hong Kong but they will accept all major credit cards or cash. Expect early morning to get to some of the sights before the crowds…well worth it to get photos before others arrive as well as avoiding long queues and saving time. Breath taking scenery along the way with social media shots everywhere. My travelling companions were very friendly and we had a laugh many times on the trip.
