  In a nutshell we enjoyed the trip but I would have appreciated a better guide to make the walking tours useful as they felt like just a follow the leader exercise and I feel we missed out on a lot of history which could have been explained. This could be fixed with local guides specifically at the forbidden city. Best thing about the tour was going to the further section of the Great Wall and having it to ourselves! However be warned this is changing in 2019 and is no longer offered as a different section will be visited. Below are our additional points for trip improvement: - the hotel in xi’an was poor and an alternate should be used - the standard should be the soft sleeper train not the hard sleeper, also don’t be discouraged when intrepid tells you you will be separated from the group if you choose soft sleeper - it is really easy to navigate yourself - the walking tour of the bund was useless and miserable in the heat - I don’t feel like I got anything out of this as most of it was walking down a street full of shopping and nothing in particular was explained

  It was an excellent trip. Luckily as well the weather was on our side; always blue sky, even in Beijing (no smog at all). Our Tour Guide (Jing) was also excellent. Her english was very good, her attitude always positive and upbeat, and she was open to answer all sorts of questions. All the trip was very well planned; we encountered no delays at all. This trip is highly recommended.

  Trip and guide were very well organized. Guide was excellent, went out of his way to ensure everyone on the trip was happy and got a chance too see everything. Had good knowledge of local cuisine and transport in the cities and sites.

  Guide was great, very patient and knowledgeable about culture. He was respectful and knew a lot about Chinas culture and history. Main issue of the tour were other tour attendees which cant be controlled. I'd also reccomend intrepid nixing the water town day and spending the extra day either in shanghai/xian or beijing. I dont feel the water town added much value or interest to the trip. Overall excelletn trip - would do it again!

  Owen was a great tour leader with excellent local knowledge. He made the trip very enjoyable. I have been on a few intrepid trips and Owen was definitely the best tour leader Iﾒve ever had!
