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!

After a week of touring the historical sites in Beijing and Xian, China, a shopping excursion in Shanghai was fun.
Tour was run by a very knowledgeable guide and included a formal tea service in a tea shop where different teas were sampled. Followed by some free time to shop at one of the many street shopping areas before having lunch at a traditional Chinese restaurant, which was included as part of the tour. The highlight was an extended shopping time to haggle and bargain at one of the most popular and busy shopping villages in Shanghai. Bring your best haggling skills because they will surely be tested! Definitely a fun experience!

G Adventures has nailed it with this tour. The itinerary is exciting and engaging. The tour guide was world class. If you want to experience a small part of China in a short amount of time, this is the tour. Also the fact that it was a Solo-Ish tour made it even better - it gets you out of your bubble and when you have a great group, you have a great energy and you walk away from the tour feeling like you’ve made some real friends. China, I will be back!!

This was a top notch company and the climbing was great. The guide was completely safe and with high winds (too dangerous to climb) we worked together to amend the plans. This made me feel safe. (Note that these are high altitude climbs and one needs to have some climbing experience.) (Also in this time of the year it was cold and at times windy.) I cannot say enough about the Sherpa and the guide. An excellent time and a grand adventure.
