    A fast paced tour for sure. A great way to experience Chinese people, culture, history and many awesome attractions. On the negative side - a bit too much walking with luggage, on/off public transport for me. Overall experience was still amazing... Show more

    I had a fantastic time with G Adventures but I would explain that at times the tour felt rushed despite seeing the main sites.

    G ensures you get to experience all of the 'must-see' parts of any trip but I feel they make a real effort to provide more of a genuine experience of the place and culture
