This tour was with Intrepid Travel. I looked at this tour as a learning experience rather than a vacation and it was well worth it. The tour planning and execution went without problems, and due to the tour guides' (one for China and one for Mongolia) knowledge and experience, we were also able to see sites not specified on the itinerary. I was especially impressed with the tour guides' expression of individual concern to those on the trip.Show more
