    Asked on August 19th, 2022

    Do any tours include a train ride from one destination to another on China itinerary

    Transport
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten August 2022

      The only one of our itineraries that includes a train would be this one. You would take the bullet train on some portions of the trip. Otherwise like this one it would be internal flights.
