Tour Reviews
K.C., Aug 2018We were pleased with the professional attitude of all, from the first contact to the guides in each city. I want to give special kudos to Mei Zhang, Maynard Zhang and Jasmine Zhai. The customer-oriented culture of the company is a tribute to Mei's leadership and vision for WildChina and how every person interacts with clients. Maynard was also helpful as the local US representative to make sure that our program interests were shared with the staff in China. Jasmine was terrific in making our arrangements, always answering our questions promptly and addressing issues during the actual program.
International School - Jakarta, Indonesia, Dec 2015The kids really liked the diverse program... from rock climbing, orienteering, bike rides… and even working on the local farm!
High School - Lakeville, USA, Jun 2016Camping at Everest Base Camp was outstanding and the Sakya Monastery experience was remarkable. In fact, nothing (about the trip) was disappointing. It really was exceptional.
