    Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback. It's great to hear you had a great time on your trip. I'm sorry to hear you felt one of the adventure leaders was disorganised and raised inappropriate conversations. The adventure leader you had was relatively new and running your first few groups can be challenging. This type of feedback helps our adventure leaders improve how they deliver the standard hospitality our guests would expect from one of our trip. Despite this, we really appreciate that you would recommend this trip to others. We hope you'll join us on a Dragon Trip in the future.

    Ron

    Asked on December 30th, 2025

    I need the dates of this tour time about one week earlier, and I would like the itinerary to focus on Hong Kong and Chengdu primarily. I am thinking about three days in HK, 1 day travel and 2 days in Chengdu. Would prefer a small group but private is also possible.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten December 2025

      The recommended age range for the trip is 18-55 with some flexibility. There's a few things to be aware before you decide to join this adventure: The standard accommodation is hostels, with the option to upgrade to a private room within the hostels. During the camping on the great wall, you will be sleeping on the floor in a tent. You will also need a good level of fitness and be expected to keep up with the rest of the group. We use the recommended age range so that people know what group demographic to expect when they join the trip, the majority of people that book this trip will expect to be with a group of people within this age range.
