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

Not for the faint of heart. This itinerary was challenging and this will be first and last trip with Intrepid. As an older American traveler I found the itinerary great but the activities including parts of the Great Wall was very challenging. There were sections of the Great Wall that I thought was impassable due to the trail conditions and how steep the trail was in the non touristy sections of the Wall. I initially did the Mutianyu section which much easier and greatly restored but the other sections covered were much more challenging and rigorous. Otherwise the rest of the itinerary was great and much easier comparatively. The biggest surprise was finding how big the Muslim Quarter was in X'ian. If there is extra time, spend an evening walking around and a half or full day to walk around. it was also one of the best cities to buy souvenirs.Show more
