Our guide really made the trip more than anything but the itinerary was very well put together with so much of such a huge country being covered in such a short time. This is my first trip travelling like this and it is by far the best holiday I've ever had, I feel like I made genuine friends with all my companions and never felt lonely despite arriving in the country on my own.

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.

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!
