A fascinating trip to China. I learned so much about Chinese history and culture. The people were extremely friendly. We got to see the bucket list sights of the great Wall and terracotta warriors but there was so much more to appreciate and experience. The support provided by our CEO was invaluable and appreciated. The food and accommodation was of a good standard. Our group of travellers were lovely. It was a great value holiday, an efficient way to see a bit of the country and I would recommend G Adventures.
