    Overall, well done at a good (fast / limited downtime) pace. With maybe one or two activities that could've been skipped, the selection of included sites and activities was well-curated. Our travel guide, Cindy (English name), is very good at her job - organized, familiar with the itinerary, streamlines processes, answers questions, communicates clearly. Hotels were rather average with some hit-or-miss aspects (such as a few features not working at times, like AC.. but remedies provided). The price seemed fair, and the included eSIM worked perfectly.

    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?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      Unfortunately we don't offer a Yangtze cruise add-on separately. If you like to do this cruise we can offer you a fantastic tour which includes the river cruise on Yangtze it's called Yin and Yangtze. The cost of this tour based on single passenger with current fantastic 25% discount is €3,949.
