- GWGustavo· November 7th, 2025Olivia was an awesome guide, and the itinerary itself is quite good. However, the price does not seem to justify what is included, and many important events and activities are optional. Furthermore, you have to take luggage and use public transportation in crowded areas for quite a few parts of the itinerary.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
May Evelyn· March 30th, 2025In general is a good experience. Is not luxury, but it gets better as you are movingShow more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your honest review, May! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the near future!Trip date: March 2025- KLKara· January 22nd, 2025This tour was exactly what I expected. Yes, we did travel a lot, but saw so much in such a short amount of time. Ricky was so sweet! He looked after us so much and really got to know his group. And speaking of the group, the dynamics were perfect. Such a small team and this allowed us to get around all security checks swiftly and through all places visited. We stayed in some amazing accommodation which got better each place that we stayed. The itinerary was very clear, except for no mention about the second lengthy train journey. (Might need to fix this) A very inexpensive tour for what you got. Would highly recommend one of the options for seeing China with G Adventures!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for sharing your experience with us, Kara! We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your tour of China with Ricky and the group, and appreciate your feedback on updating the itinerary. Our world deserves more you!Trip date: January 2025
- MBMary Christina· December 15th, 2019Good value for money and the guide was on point. Would definitely use them again as an option for budget travel. China would likely have been difficult and beat and undoable without a tour (and I am a fairly a seasoned traveler)Show moreTrip date: November 2019
- Beth· November 29th, 2019The best things about this trip was our CEO, Jennifer. She was knowledgeable, helpful and gave a lot of great suggestions about foods to try, what we could do in our free time, etc. The accommodations and food were good for the price. The amount of time spent in transit and carrying around luggage was the main downside. The sleeper trains were also hard to get a good sleep on.Show moreTrip date: November 2019
- KKirsten· November 19th, 2019I thought that doing a tour would avoid busy times for sightseeing however it was the opposite. There was too many times you had to provide your own meals and it was long days. I would have done it on my own in hindsight. The tour guide was lovely and so helpfulShow moreTrip date: October 2019

Allan
Asked on September 28th, 2025Is there an option to add visits to the Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven? Are there opportunities to enjoy cultural performances like ballet or martial arts shows during the trip, or can the guide recommend places to experience these? Could you tell me about the typical group composition—more women, men, or couples? Also, are there social activities or chances to connect with other travelers outside of sightseeing?
G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025For those tours the group will visit the forbidden city, in the Summer time since the forbidden city is usually over booked the groups visits the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven instead. You do get to see a Chinese acrobats show on day 7, and there is an optional activity to see Bell and Drum Towers performance on day 4. Anything else can be done during your free time and the guide can help book those on tour. For the December 5 departure we have 11 people confirmed on the tour, 5 are solo travellers, 1 pair and one group of 4. A little over half are male travellers. The group will be together for most of the tour except during free time but usually people will pair off if they want to see the same things.

Traveler•Written October 2025If for some reason a client were unable to obtain the visa, what would the refund or reschedule options be?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
It would depend on the proximity to the tour start date, essentially as the visa outcome is not our responsibility, if you were unable to get on your standard terms and conditions would apply if you had to cancel. That being said, you can amend your booking up to 30 days before departure, so as long as you do that outside of that time, you shouldn't be impacted too much if your visa was denied.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
Currently we do not have tour starting in Hong Kong and ending in Beijing. We have a 'China Uncovered' tour running on Fri, 28 Nov - Sat, 06 Dec which would require extra flights to the starting point and back to Beijing.

Traveler•Written March 2025I would like to visit Guangzhou, would that be possible or should it be discussed separately with your company when we get to China?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
We cannot customise our trips, they only operate as per the itinerary online, therefore this would not be possible. If you wish to visit Guangzhou we recommend that you add extra time after the tour to do this, but this will be something you must arrange yourself.
