Trip Reviews

Roam China - Hong Kong To Beijing

The trip was very well organized and the itinerary gave me a good cultural experience of China . The overnight trains were a good way to get around as it meant we didn't waste time in the day traveling and enabled us to get more out of our visit. The accommodation far exceeded my expectations and was good quality.
