Do you a similar tour for seniors?

You might be interested to join us on the 10-Day China Premium Tour: Beijing, Xi'an & Shanghai which can accommodate guests aged 18-75 and uses hotels as the standard accommodation.

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.

It's not possible for us to adjust the trip date to a week earlier. All of our dates are set for the year. We don't have any trips for what you're asking and we can only do private tours for a minimum group of 4 people.

Is it for only up to 55 yo

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.

Are there any camping nights included in the tour?

There is no camping included on this tour, this is only a feature of our longer Great Wall tours.

Do I need to have a Chinese visa before joining the 9 days tour with your Hongkong and Chengdu tour? I'm a green card holder living in North Carolina.

Yes, you will need to get a visa for China to join this tour. We will provide the invitation letter and other documents you may neeed for the application process.

Can I import the invitation letter needed for a visa after booking?

Once the booking is made, we can provide the detailed itinerary and the invitation letter required for your visa.

What is the minimum amount of travelers needed to have a private group?

The minimum group size for a private departure is 4 people. However, you should be aware that private departures are typically 25-30% more expensive per person than our standard tour.

What is the typical group size for this tour?

The group size for this tour currently consists of about 15 people.

Do I need a visa for a short stay if I'm traveling with an Italian passport?

As long as you're traveling with your Italian passport, you don't need a visa for stays up to 15 days.

Am I exempt from this tour because of my age?

We do have some flexibility with the age range and would love to welcome you on this adventure. However, you should be advised the age limit is created because most travellers in the group will be aged 20-35 and we use youth hostels during the stay.

There were several highlights and a few lowlights across the leadership on the trip. Mulan and Summer stood out as exceptional energetic, engaging, and going above and beyond, particularly in Yangshuo, which made that part of the trip especially memorable. Summer was knowledgeable, and creating a positive atmosphere throughout our time in chengdu. However, there were some issues, including lapses in group management such as leaving without a full headcount, and one leader appearing disorganised and overly reliant on maps. It was also disappointing that incorrect information was given rather than admitting uncertainty, and that a discussion about politics was introduced on the final day, which felt inappropriate. Overall I had a great time and would recommend this trip to friends and family.Show more

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.
