    Janet

    Asked on September 22nd, 2026

    If I want to stay back in China after the trip ends, can I pay a bit extra for the return ticket date of a few weeks after the trips.

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2026

      The tour ends in Chengdu - would you want to stay there beyond? The train ticket cannot be amended to another date as its a group ticket we purchase for the tour dates. You would have to purchase another return ticket

    Stuart

    Asked on March 1st, 2026

    Can I walk the Great Wall of China with this package?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      Yes this itinerary does have you walk the Great wall of China on day 3 it states on the itinerary " This morning, travel to the legendary Great Wall of China. Together we'll hike about 5 kilometers of this 6000 km masterpiece."

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      The tour itinerary includes seeing the Great Wall of China and the forbidden city. You can pay extra to visit the Giant Panda Breeding Center. All other places to see mentioned are not included in the tour therefore you would need to do independently where there is free time on tour.
