- Selma· June 8th, 2025It was a fantastic trip. We saw a lot in such a short time. The trip was very well organized. The CEOs Estella in China and Ryu in Japan were great. So attentive, nice, helpful and fun to be around. Both my groups in China and Japan were great. We had so much fun, we laughed so much...it could have gone on like this ???? Thank youShow more

Asked on October 31st, 2024Do u charge a single supplement and if so how much?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2024
We don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option. My Own Room for Highlights of China starting from $719.00 depending on the departure you choose.

Raymond
Asked on July 24th, 2024I'm interested in Highlights of China, but would also like to do the 3/4 day cruise on the Yangtze River and see the 3 Gorges Dam. I'd also like to add on the trip to see the canal district from Shanghai. Is this possible to do please?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2024
We dont have any extension cruises that we can offer you. For Shanghai, the only thing we could do would be add extra nights onto the end of your trip, and you could organise the canal district trip locally.
