Good value for money and the guide was on point. Would definitely use them again as an option for budget travel. China would likely have been difficult and beat and undoable without a tour (and I am a fairly a seasoned traveler)

The best things about this trip was our CEO, Jennifer. She was knowledgeable, helpful and gave a lot of great suggestions about foods to try, what we could do in our free time, etc. The accommodations and food were good for the price. The amount of time spent in transit and carrying around luggage was the main downside. The sleeper trains were also hard to get a good sleep on.

Lovely tour with pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We had a very small group which means we had plenty of attention. The range of places we visited was varied and stimulating. The pace of the tour was just about perfect for the the group. Unfortunately I was unwell during the tour which took the edge off the experience for me (my limitations were well catered for though).
