China Tours in July 2026

This tour exceeded my expectations on every level. The layout of the tour and the work of our tour guide ensured that I learned a great deal while having a really good time!

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.

The essence of Guilin tour was absolutely fantastic, and our guide Lily made it truly unforgettable. She is warm, knowledgeable, takes care of everything and responded to all questions and wishes. Lily shared fascinating insights about the region and local life. We experienced both the stunning nature and the local culture. From the scenic Li river cruise to exploring charming villages, everything was well-organized and relaxed. Lily even took us to some hidden spots away from the crowds. Highly recommended! If you're visiting Guilin, don't miss this tour with Lily!

The Trip to Tibet and China was one of most memorable moments in my life. The Himalaya mountains, the Tibetan monasteries, the Tibetan as well as Chinese people were incredible! This trip was on my “bucket list” and it exceeded all my expectations. Our group was small and very friendly, by the end of the trip we all became close friends. Our guides were super caring, knowledgeable and supportive. I am very happy that I did this trip!

THE TOUR TO CHINA AND JAPAN WAS AMAZING.I ESPECIALLY WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE OUTSTANDING SERVICE OF ONE OF THE TOUR GUIDES, NOT LISTED UNDER TOUR GUIDES: ALVARO BLANCO, HIS KNOWLEDGE, KINDNESS AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL TRULY MADE THE TRIP CONFORTABLE. THANK YOU!

Itinerary was jam-packed with great sights and activities that gave us a taste of both ancient and modern China, while still leaving some free time to explore on our own; excellent value. All the hotels were very good (luxurious for Exodus), with the Tianfu Sunshine in Chengdu being stand-out for room facilities and decor, the Bell Tower in Xi'an for location and generous room size, and the Dong Fang in Beijing for the most extensive and best quality breakfast buffet (and period charm in the historic coffee shop, courtyard, and public areas); Golden Tulip in Shanghai was also very glamorous and well-located for the Bund. Transport (bullet trains x 2, internal flight, private minibuses, and public buses) was all excellent - punctual, efficient and clean, and our trip leader, Sunny, got us to all the attractions before the busiest crowds, and marshalled us well on public transport. (There were only seven of us on my departure - five solos and one couple - which was a good number; I can imagine a full cohort of 16 would be much more challenging to manage in the busiest locations.) Food was amazingly cheap and generally good (you can eat well for a fiver, and feast for under £10; large beers cost around £1), although some of us might have liked an option once or twice to have a more upmarket and relaxed dining experience. This trip takes in all the main tourist attractions (Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, a section of the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, panda breeding centre), and they were all well worth seeing, but what I enjoyed most was having some time to explore the lesser known cities, Xi'an, and Chengdu. Xi'an was my favourite, for its historic centre, and lively night-time vibe. I would have liked some more time in Shanghai (not least because I was on a quest for family history); a day and a half on the official trip itinerary is not enough for such a vibrant city, specially as we lost half a day (the group trip to Yuyuan Garden) due to heavy rain the day we arrived. Luckily, some of us had late flights on departure day, effectively giving us another post-trip day in which we were able to visit the Yu Garden independently, but it would be good if this extra day could be factored into future trip itineraries. (Personally, I'd trade Beijing for more time in Chengdu and Shanghai. I'm planning to return to Shanghai independently.) As a solo traveller, this was my first long-haul trip, and it was brilliant. Just go!
