Great Wall of China Tours & Trips
What if you explored China's Great Wall properly? Not just the touristy Badaling part, but hiking wild sections like Jiankou, staying near less-crowded areas. The Great Wall stretches thousands of kilometres - some sections are restored, others crumbling through mountains. You'll trek along actual wall rather than just visiting, camp nearby and experience this incredible structure beyond the day-trip crowds.

The Yangtze River Tour exceeded my expectations in every way. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The sites we visited were amazing, offering a wonderful mix of culture, history, and beautiful scenery. The hotel locations were excellent—clean, comfortable, and conveniently situated, making it easy to walk around and explore on our own. One of the highlights of this tour was the outstanding guides. Every guide spoke excellent English and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Whether sharing local knowledge, providing historical context, or helping with individual needs, they were always available, professional, and genuinely caring. Everything felt thoughtfully planned and seamlessly coordinated. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a Yangtze River journey. I would absolutely do this tour again and am very grateful for such a memorable experience. Thank you for an incredible trip!

What a great experience! The 8 days were packed with landmarks and activities that fulfilled many of our China bucket list items. Our guides, Eddie, Kelly (in Luoyang) and Cathy (in Xi' an), were knowledgeable and well organized, allowing us to maximize our days. Eddie, who was with us the whole trip, handled our affairs (hotels, admissions, travel tickets, etc ) allowing us to move place to place with ease. Eddie is the best! Also, we had a great group of travelers that made the tour even more enjoyable. Great tour
