If high adventure is your ideal way to spend your vacation, then China is the perfect destination. We feature a number of tours that focus exclusively on hiking, biking, exploring caves, and visiting archaeological sites throughout ancient and marvelous China. Walk along the famed Great Wall as it winds its way through the scenic countryside, or tour the 17th century Potala Palace & Drepung Monastery. If you're up for it, then consider trekking through rice fields, along rivers, and around the mountains. You'll even see the sacred Qinglong Cave Temple. As you bike along secluded rivers, you'll meet locals while you enjoy lunch in their village, followed by a ride on a bamboo raft. Contact us to get started planning!

My travel planner, Jeff, who is on top of his field (based on travel industry awards), is a highly professional, very effective and, at the same time, personally nice individual. What was also critical to me is that he has a first hand experience traveling in the region that I am going to. On top of that, the customer relations director, Sarah, has personally followed up to make sure I'm happy.
