" The most scenic picnic I've ever had in life "
Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed the Timeless Trail tour in China. What an amazing experience! We considered a self guided tour in China but felt we did not have the knowledge and language skills to make the most of our limited time in this fascinating country. After searching for organized tours we found you were the only company that offers a tour that suits to our budget & interests, and glad we did the right thing. ... read on hereRob & Diane Mettyer, Aberdare

This was my first guided tour and my first solo trip in China although I have travelled through Asia on self directed travel as a couple. What a great trip!

" Our trip to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong Park was awesome "
All of our party (son, daughter-in-law and myself) were very impressed with the tour. Our tour manager and all the local guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. We thought the choices of restaurants were very well rounded and captured the heart of what Chinese food is all about.Our trip to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong Park was awesome. No doubt that the sceneries of these sites are some of the top sites in the world. We particularly like the flexibility of being able to explore the sights in a relaxed atmosphere without being rushed unlike the tour groups we had experienced with other bigger tour companies. ... read on here

Tour guides and drivers were promptly waiting at each airport, dedicated to ensure our family were comfortable and knew what was going on at all times.
