I think it was a good trip however the trip was rushed and the tour guide definitely prioritised taking us to bars instead of recommending places to explore. However i did enjoy myself. I was also upset about the samurai experience being cancelled and not getting notifiied because that was an experience i was really looking forward to

Great trip. The trip manager was very knowledgeable and resourceful.
Kraig Anderson | Traveled in February
China is a multi-ethnic country, especially in the southwest of China, where there are many ethnic minorities. This exploration tour of China's ethnic minorities has made me more aware of their culture and customs. They have their own language, their own traditional clothing, their own eating habits and special marriage customs, and so on. It is really colorful! I like this kind of real travel and recommend it to you.

China is a fantastic place to Travel around but it is changing so fast. Having a guide to show you all the culture and historical places you would otherwise miss is becoming essential. These tours are a brilliant way to get the most out of your visit to this wonderful,, culture rich country with ease and not miss a thing.
