- GAGilda· August 11th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishMy trip to China with Dragon Trip was unforgettable! I like the concept of being closer to the country and its people and offering bike tours or camping on the Great Wall, for example. Of course, this may appeal mainly to younger people, but I also had a very good time. Some of the activities pushed us all to our limits, especially because of the humid heat at the end of July - but the experiences were really exceptional. The tour guides were all very approachable and always eager to help us. Yes, there are a lot of optional activities that have to be paid for separately, but these were quite affordable. In return, there was a full service with return trips for certain activities, which would not have been any cheaper if you had to organize it yourself and would have taken a lot of time to prepare. The program was varied and impressed not only us travellers, but also all my friends at home. Highly recommended!Show more

- SSophie· September 14th, 2016The experiences were amazing and the sights were next to none. However, when you book the tour the company fails to mention how much extra money you will need. I was told that activities and travel were paid for when I paid the lump sum but when I arrived there were only selected activities paid for and most of them were free anyway and I had to pay for metro travel. I as well as my group started to wonder where the money we had spent had actually gone. The actual trip was amazing but I felt slightly ripped off especially as they advertise this trip as a budget trip.Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewHi Sophie, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback :)Trip date: March 2016

- RGRachael· August 10th, 2016Beware! You will get what you pay for. The trip is relatively cheap and is no frills. You will get what you pay for. Our first day in Hong Kong we were met by a new young Group Leader who arrived at the Hostel in a fluster, gave no introductions or information and quickly ran us off to Victoria's Peak for a quick look up there. After Hong Kong, it was a painful trip via the Hong Kong metro, carrying all our luggage as we changed lines, for some 40 mins before arriving at the border of HK and mainland China. We were then put on a cramped tiny van for some 3 hours for our trip to Yangshuo. We stayed in the 2nd worst accomodation in town, 2nd after Monkey Jane's. Apparently Monkey Jane's was the choice of accomodation previously but was changed due to several complaints. And it was pretty easy to see why. We had a few beers at this establishment our first night. A bit grotty hostel, not much better than our current one , and run by a nasty woman who tries to rip off drunk visitors, espcecially ater treating them to a few rounds of beer pong - beware this woman, the workers there and this establishment in general! We are hosted here by a young lady named Sally and we are even taken to her home village. This is a great experience. It was then onto on of our many long train journeys across China, the won longest being 16 hours and 25 hours. This was a painful experience. If you can handle the train system of China, you can handle anything. Commuters smoke non-stop and you have little personal space. Chengdu and Xi'an - we had two cool group leaders in Sacha and Kidd. This parts of the tour were run smoothly and enjoyably. The highlight of the tour is probably the night stay on an unrestored part of the Wall, near Beijing. The camping was rough going but worth the sunset and sunrise, tourist free, which is a refreshing change from the rest of the country. YOu are hosted here by a young lady named Luna who did a fine job. The Dragon Trip is a no frills trip, can be pretty tough for the uninitiated in Asia. Some tips on improvement - invest in your trip leaders and invest in some slightly better accomodation.Show moreThe Dragon Trip commented on this reviewHi Rachael, thank you for taking the time to give your feedback :)Trip date: May 2015

Asked on January 25th, 2025Is there an age restrictions? I'm 50 years old and my son is 14 years old. Can I book this trip?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2025
For this trip, we can accept travellers 16 years and older when traveling with an adult. Since your son is 14, unfortunately, he would be a little young for this tour. However, we do have family-friendly tours in Japan and Korea that might be a great option - would you be interested in learning more about these options at all?

Asked on December 10th, 2024In case of cancellation in south korea because of a political situation what are the policies? Should we hire a insurance with this type of cover?

Leslie
Traveler•Written November 2024Do you offer any insurance that would cover both this trips?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2024
While we don't provide insurance directly, we do require all clients to have backpacker travel insurance when joining our trips. We recommend a policy that includes 'Bad Weather or Natural Disaster Coverage' for added security. Please ensure your client brings their travel insurance details with them, particularly for the trip briefing on Day 1. In the event of an accident, we may need to contact their insurance provider, so it's important they have the insurance company's name, phone number, and policy number ready! For recommendations, we find 'World Nomads' to be a great travel insurance provider.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written December 2024
If we have to cancel the tour in case it is not safe to travel because of the political situation you would be eligible for a full refund. You will need travel insurance to join the tour so it's useful to get a cover that can cover this too.
