I travelled China on my own and wouldn’t recommend doing it that way. I’m a travel agent and have sold many GAP tours across China. The tours are very basic and aimed at backpackers but I have only had good reports back from my clients. Just dont expect 5 star treatment. If you are on a budget I would definately recommend them. If you prefer a higher standard I would recommend Wendy Wu Tours or Helen Wong Tours – both are excellent but more 5 star than backpacker.
