My husband and I went backpacking …
My husband and I went backpacking around China and took a cruise down the Yangtze with this company. The boat was beautiful, the route superb, the food excellent and the tours pretty good. We were English-speaking and always had our own guides. The only thing I didn't like was being told where to go and what to do all the time - we were independent travellers and wanted to go ashore/to the various sites alone but this was not allowed much. We knew the times we had to be ready to leave the boat etc but were stilled called over the tannoy all the time. My husband didn't mind it but I didn't like being told what to do all the time - especially when we were always on time so I didn't see the point of the tannoys! Still the boat, cabin, facilities, restaurant, staff and food were excellent. The route and the views were spectacular. Definitely great :)
