Cathal Lachteen Murphy review 16 Jul 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The trip overall was superb from start to end, with many memorable moments along the way.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
An extra day pre commencing the trip if time allows as the trip is full on every day, so to avoid jetlag, arriving in Beijing a day earlier is helpful. Travel light, all hotels stayed at offered free laundry service. China works in a more or less cashless society, WeChat or Alipay are a must and have same setup prior to your trip. Revolut e-sim worked seamlessly in all locations throughout China.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Overall, yes. Local drivers and guides were used throughout the trip. Local restaurants were used at lunch; this was in consolation with guides and travelers' preference. In remote areas outside of big cities, local guesthouses were used, and benefits can be seen with local people. In relation to environmental impact, electric cars were used, perhaps using public transport could be considered for some journeys. Conservation I did not witness any big impact; however the country has many initiatives and strategies in place.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent, the trip was very well organized and ran very smoothly. All guides and drivers were very hospitable and kind while ensuring all guests were welcome to China. The guides had an immense level of knowledge in the area and of China overall. All drivers showed immense kindness towards guest ensuring punctuality at all times and providing bottled water throughout the trip. All hotels used were of excellent standard. I overall rate this trip of very high standards that exceeded my expectations. I would very happily travel with this company in the future.Holiday Reviews
