What sets this trip apart is its balanced approach: you’ll witness iconic sites, enjoy active excursions like cycling, and savor opportunities to connect with China’s living history. The blend of major highlights and authentic local experiences ensures a journey that is both memorable and meaningful.

day 1Arrive in Beijing & group meeting

Ni Hao! Welcome to Beijing, the capital of the most populous country on earth. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6:00 pm when you will meet your tour leader and fellow travelers. Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask the reception for more information.
Please have your passport, travel insurance details and next-of-kin information at hand as we will go through these documents at the group meeting. Why not head out and explore Beijing's streets after the meeting is over? With your hotel located centrally, a walk in any direction will unveil all sorts of wonderful surprises. Perhaps you might want to kick off your China adventure with a taste of an iconic local dish – Peking duck.
If you wish to arrive in Beijing a few days prior to the tour start date, we will be happy to book pre-tour accommodation for you at an additional cost (subject to availability).

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.
