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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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?

You are able to change dates easily outside of 60 days, we would just move your deposit over to a new departure date of your choice. Within 60 days the following terms and conditions would apply. Period before departure Cancellation fee per person 60 days or more Deposit only. 31 - 59 days 50% of total holiday cost or deposit - whichever is greater. 30 days or less 100% of total holiday cost.

What a great experience! The 8 days were packed with landmarks and activities that fulfilled many of our China bucket list items. Our guides, Eddie, Kelly (in Luoyang) and Cathy (in Xi' an), were knowledgeable and well organized, allowing us to maximize our days. Eddie, who was with us the whole trip, handled our affairs (hotels, admissions, travel tickets, etc ) allowing us to move place to place with ease. Eddie is the best! Also, we had a great group of travelers that made the tour even more enjoyable. Great tourShow more
