  • I

    Irene

    Asked on February 28th, 2026

    We would like to do this trip or one very similar, but we are 70 and 69 years of age. Both fit and healthy. We have mostly always been independent travellers. We have completed others tours with on the go tours (63 days in Eastern Africa from South Africa to Kenya) then Kenya to Uganda/Rwanda camping tours and another 2 months in Africa on our own. I know because of the age older people are all put in one basket, but we have always travelled back-packing around the world on our own and don't want to be in that category. Can you suggest a tour similar to this one and length? This trip allows a little freedom of doing your own thing on some days and not being on the road everyday with 2 or 3 day stop overs.

    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      Would you be open in to starting in Beijing and ending in HK? If so, please take a look at Beijing to Yunnan & Hong Kong. Let me know if it suits and I can look at availability.

  • L

    Lynn

    Asked on December 22nd, 2025

    Could you please confirm if a traveller choosing the single room option will receive a private single room at every accommodation, including when they are camping?

      Lynn

      Traveler•Written December 2025

      I am 56 - so I am just outside of the age range (18 - 55) I would like to join the trip, can we discuss if that is possible. I would also like to extend my stay by arriving on 8 May and leaving on 29 May - it would be great to explore accommodation options for the extra nights

    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written December 2025

      Unfortunately not. I would advise you to look at one of our other Honk Kong tours like the Beijing to Yunnan & Hong Kong

    Paula

    Asked on September 17th, 2025

    Is February a good time to do this tour and is the discounted price still available?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written September 2025

      We run our China tours from late March/April to October. We don't have any tours in February as winter time it's not the best to visit China. In Beijing, the average temperature in February is minus 4.

  • B

    Barbara

    Asked on April 25th, 2025

    can I have a private single rooms during this trip? or I have to accept being in a dorm? if the dorm is the only option is there a seperation based on gender?

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written April 2025

      1. We currently have 7 people booked on the tour. 2. The single room is available and you would have single rooms at each accommodation for the entirety of the tour. 3. For the Dorm option our local team always aim to book gender separated rooms, however they cannot guarantee this but most accommodations in China will have same sex rooms.

  • J

    Jade

    Asked on August 25th, 2023

    I would like to have more details on your flexible booking and credit for future tours policies. I am professional actor working in Italy, and whenever I book a trip I am threatened with the possibility of getting an unforeseeable and unexpected job a few weeks before departure. Therefore, I need to find tours that offer flexibility/credit/cancellation policies. If, say, I book your tour and then get a job, how would it work with you? Would I be able to reschedule the dates of the trip? Get a credit to book another? Get my money back?

    Payments
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2023

Within 60 days the following terms and conditions would apply.
