As a solo female traveler, I was nervous about visiting China. The team made everything so easy and safe. The Shanghai and water towns tour was a perfect introduction to China.

The Zhangjiajie tour was like walking through a painting. The glass bridge was thrilling and the Avatar mountains are even more impressive in person. Worth every penny!
