I had a great time. The group was very nice. The CEO was great as well. I also like the Solo-ish concept. I appreciate that we stayed longer than one night in Shanghai, Xi'an and Beijing. My greatest experiences were: The Great Wall, the time we spent in Shanghai, the Cooking Class in Shanghai, the chopstick making lesson and the time in Luoyang. The other experiences were good or very good as well. The only exception is the Dumpling Making class in Jinshanling which was too much since we arrived very late. Other than that, I really loved the food in China. The restaurant choices of our CEO and her guidance and recommendations regarding food were great.

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!!
