The A&K guides in China were superior. The overall guide was as good as a Tauck tour director. This is the first A&K tour (we have taken 3) that was as good as the Tauck tour we took to Turkey in 2014.

Top notch, first class every step of the journey. It's a pleasure travelling with a company that anticipates your needs before you have to ask.
