Any experience with China tour operators?
Hi guys, I need
i already got three quotes from tour operators for a trip through China - the most expensive and challenging one I guess from Torugart Pass - Xinjiang - Tibet - Yunnan and to Laos.
My gut hasn't made a decision yet which operator to choose as the prices are quite similar but tour descriptions, suggestions etc. are a bit different.
So my question is if there's anybody out there - and I know there must be - who has made experiences with
- Navo
- china Overland
- Mrs Spring
please let me know your experiences, challenges, good things, bad things with them or if you just would recommend one of them or even another company ... It's a lot of money to spend on as you know and I like to know more the hidden details as the obvious I already found out.
You can also pm and email me if you like to keep it private.
Thank you for any hint!
Thomas

China Crossing
Hi Thomas,
I am also planning (just started) to cross China on a motorbike, around May/August this year.
I am looking for a group to join or for people to create one.
What are you planning? Do you already have a group?
By the way, can you give me the contact of Miss Spring?
Thanks!
Agus
better if you can write me to: agusti.mila1@gmail.com (I have also sent you an email)

Trip
Hi there,
I'm interested in a similar trip.
Could you tell me how much the Chinese tour companies are charging you so I could have an idea.
Thanks a lot,
Kai
