A wonderful experience traveling in China!

China | Aug 10 - Aug 20, 2026

Lisa was excellent and very helpful in the planning stages of our trip. She answered all questions and made any necessary adjustments in a quick and timely fashion. Our trip went extremely smoothly due to her hard work.

On our trip, in Beijing, Roy and Mr. Meng were very helpful and adopted quickly to changing weather situations to ensure we were able to go see The Great Wall in the further Simatai section. He was extremely helpful in dropping us in the train station and was kind enough to give us some food for the ride.

In Luoyang & Zhengzhou, James and Wang Li were excellent hosts, and very gracious in interacting with locals and helping us make purchases as well. Our day to visit the Shaolin temple was excellent and I was grateful to have James with us. His personality and energy made the trip all the more better and even helped us deal with the heat of the day!

Finally, in Shanghai, Vivian and Mr. Zhang the driver gave us a great tour of the city and were very helpful. Vivian was very accommodating to help us shop

Only a small piece of feedback to add, in Tiananmen Square, the bag search is fairly thorough and exhaustive, which I wasn’t expecting, for future travelers this may be good to advise preemptively, to expedite going through the checkpoint and also avoid any potential items being withheld.

This was an amazing hike and view of the great wall. Highly recommend going to this section if the time allows. You may see the great wall in it's natural state.
