- Japan Essentials 9 Day - One Life Adventures
Very through tour with great itinerary
- 26-Day China Loop: Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Chengdu and Beyond
I absolutely loved the trip. Couldn't recommend this experience of China any higher. Also I would like to mention two guides in particular who were excellent. Sasha. .. she has so much knowledge and would go out of her way often to help any of us and servet who went above and beyond to help me out as I had to leave Macau early. He was helpful by what's app, providing suggestions and even made sure I saw enough of Macau before taking me to the bus after staying on his own to watch my bag so I could go round the casino! Great guide and all round nice guy.

Excellent trip, lots of support from Sonia in helping me decide my plans. It was great to meet Sonia in Delhi and hear about her inspiring story . The trip itself ran extremely smoothly. my driver in Delhi , Pooran, and my guide there Raj, were both excellent, and I was well looked after by both of them.
