    It's an excellent way to experience a small portion of China in such a short time frame, I absolutely adored my tour and would definitely go back with this company if and when I return to China. An obvious highlight was the Great Wall of China.

    Great wildlife experience! Very well organised, swift and clear communication, great activities with lots of different animals to observe - and most importantly: our guide Sewi was great, very friendly, communicative and knowledgeable.

    Justin was an extraordinary tour guide. He provided information verbally, but also in his self-published cartoon book. His publication is a fabulous reference to what we saw and what the places mean to Koreans. The multiple UNESCO sites made the trip special to me. Group lunches were handled very well and were an exciting local experience. Hotels were nicer than I expected. Jin Cheol handled all questions well and with aplomb.

    Asked on July 18th, 2025

    I want to enquire about the age, gender and country profile of the people who have signed up for this particular trip. I know its still early, so this information may not be available. In general, what is the profile of people who sign up to this trip? I am 28 year old male from Ireland and I'd like to be travelling with people of a similar age.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      I'm wondering about the profile of the group who have already signed up for this trip starting on the 11th October. And in general, what is the average age of the group? Are the ages of the group more towards the upper end of 55 or towards the lower end of 18? Because my preference is to travel with similar aged travellers (around 29), rather than be in a group of people in their 50s which would be less fun for me.

    • Bamba TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      There are 18 people booked onto the trip. 9 are male and 9 are female. There's a broad range of ages on the trip. The majority of them being mid 20's to young 30's. The oldest guest is in their 50's. There are lots of guests that are a similar age to yours. Guests are British, German, Mexican, Irish, Australian. There are only 2 spaces available on this departure date, so you would need to decide soon if you'd like to join this trip.

    Asked on January 3rd, 2024

    Is it possible to add a Yanze cruise on this Tour? I would like to join a Group but I would be willing to do this Cruise win my own either before, after or during the tour. I am traveling alone so that I would need a cabin alone (or to share one with somebody). Is it possible for you to organise this for me? How much would this coast?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Bamba TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      We could arrange it after the group tour. You can have your own room if you want, do you prefer this option?
