Our tours offer a great opportunity to experience China through the eyes of a local. Near Yangshuo you visit a local family in a village house, where you enjoy lunch as a guest of the family. This brings money into the local economy and also encourages cross-cultural interaction. Through a question and answer session, you learn how the local people live and gain an appreciation of their daily routines. These tours also include a cruise down the Yangtze River, where you learn about the ecological issues surrounding the world's third longest river. Later you visit the Giant Panda Breeding Centre in Chengdu, where we support an important project to save this endangered species. A key component of the tour is your local Tour Leader.
Tourism is a relatively new concept in China and we have implemented training programs for all its leaders, covering a variety of issues, from environmental awareness to First Aid. This not only assists in the conduct of a tour but also provides leaders with important life skills.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
