We are 3/4 of the Herron family, Brad, Terri, and Taylor (unfortunately the other 1/4 of the Herrons couldn’t make this trip). Brad is the dad and a sixth grade teacher in Missoula, one of his subjects being social studies with a focus on ancient history (including China!!). So Brad is our resident history geek. Taylor is the older son, a full-time software engineer and part-time jazz musician in New York City. He is a rabid pro soccer fan and also enjoys cooking and learning about new cultures. Terri is the mom and the reason China even got on our radar. She is an accounting professor at the University of Montana and accepted an invitation to teach a two-week course at a university in Shanghai. We decided to take advantage of her opportunity and tack on a week of travel as a family. Having never traveled to Asia, we turned to Adventure Life to put something together for us, starting and ending in Shanghai. We are happy to share some of experiences and impressions about our six-day jaunt around China.
First of all we were told that we could tailor our trip to our interests which is fantastic. We needed several iterations to get our trip itinerary nailed down. Our contact at Adventure Life responded quickly and we settled on a trip in a matter of weeks.

The trip was planned well. They worked through local travel planners in the two countries we visited. The trip planner was fairly knowledgable, but she could have been better. The hotels selected were good. There were a few things I think they could have planned better related tot he transportation between the carious locations we visited, but it was a great trip overall.

Excellent experience within the limits of what they can do. I often find myself as the square peg in a round hole being largely an independent traveler who appreciates qualify assistance when I can get it. Having used Adventure Life in places they can do about everything I know they're quality and look to them when and where I can. Kassandra specifically is knowledgeable, personable and respinsive.
