    Excellent guide Jacky Zhan: patient, knowledgable and tireless. Very good itinerary. Affordable price! Not all the accomodation of the same quality. Breakfast should be a basic standard in tours like this.

    Had a fantastic time in China with Intrepid! A wonderful and surprising country, with a lot to do and see, and especially a lot to eat! I only had two critiques of the itinerary as provided by Intrepid, of which one now appears to be resolved - when I travelled in Oct 2024, there was 3 days travelling to the central of the country (Lanzhou and Xiahe) which I did not think was worth the efforts or time to get there. They appear to have removed this section for future trips and I can understand why. The only other minor complaint I have is that we do not spend enough time in Xi'an! Probably my favorite city and I would have loved an additional free day there, but alas. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone - please book ASAP!
