A perfect way to explore China for the first time with an itinerary packed with a mix of different activities for everyone. Jay was a fantastic tour guide.

A great way to see the highlights of China! Jay really looked after us and gave us a beautiful introduction to China

Trip has a lot of walking so be prepared for that! I am vegetarian and the food was good, lots of early mornings and days jampacked with activities meaning you really get to see everything !

This was an amazong trip. An amazing combination of culture, history, adventure added by best sceneries. Our guide Camila was great too. China is so unique and authentic, deffinitely worth to see and this tour provides the best itinerary to do so.

Our guide encouraged us to try new foods, experiences and answered all of our curious questions about China. I applaud her for patiently guiding the group and ensuring our safety and wellbeing, especially with dietary requirements. The trip was well planned, I felt as though we spent enough time in each place and the destinations and experiences were well picked by Intrepid, sometimes supporting local and providing authentic Chinese experiences. (The opera show in Xi’An was a complete tourist trap however). There were many ‘hidden’ costs that I don’t think were stipulated clearly enough on the website upon booking. I don’t think that it should be set in a way that we have to pay for our experiences (I.e., Chinese Operas / Tai Chi Lesson etc) whilst we are out here - these experiences entirely formed the itinerary with the included activities few and far between, therefore we should have the option to pay for these upfront (with the option to join later whilst on trip) or as part of the full package cost. Especially the additional driver tips and convenience for travelling on private transportation. Perhaps it would be worth considering adding an approximate price list so people know how much they will likely spend whilst they’re on tour or budget for it. Despite this, the trip was incredible, the group you land with shapes the experience overall, so embrace it. I would choose Intrepid in future.

Great trip, Camilla was a great guide. Could spend a bit longer in some cities thogh

This trip visited stunning locations! Great to check off tourist must sees but still get out of those big cities and enjoy the countryside. Loads of wellness options; bike riding through Yangshuo farm land, climbing the Great Wall, etc. 10/10!

Great way to explore China while also enjoying the company of like-minded travellers and fantastic tour guides.

Doris Wang was the best what Intrepif had to offer on my trip to China! Give her more tours and more money!

I loved the trip! Our tour guide Doris was so lovely and made the trip really special, the itinerary is a bit packed so don't expect to see everything in every city (or stay a bit longer in Beijing/Hong Kong on your own). But overall 10/10!
