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!!
