A few things
to know first
Can I join without speaking Chinese?
Yes. The October group had guides who conducted excursions in Russian. Language practice was part of the experience, not an entrance exam. We will agree the guiding language for your trip in advance.
What ages can take part?
The age range and participation arrangements depend on the group. Tell Tanya your child’s age and whether they will travel with parents or their school, and she can advise on a suitable programme.
How are school groups accompanied?
In October, school leaders travelled with the pupils and three additional people accompanied the group in China. Parents received an evening report with photos. Staffing and parent communication are agreed separately for each new trip.
Can we change the route or dates?
Yes. We can plan a trip for your school, family or adult group. Tell us your dates, interests and budget. The itinerary and price will depend on your request.
What should we check before booking?
Ask Tanya for the final itinerary, availability, included services, and payment and cancellation terms. Discuss flights, insurance and the documents required for your trip separately.
