This was our 3rd trip with OAT/Grand Circle. So far we are batting 100% with them. We just returned from the Imperial China adventure and it was by far the best trip we have ever been on. We lucked out with a small group of 9 people, who with the help of an extremely competent group leader, jelled into a fun group that genuinely enjoyed each other's company. We cannot say enough for how well all aspects of this trip were handled by OAT, including the planning, the execution, and the follow-up. We feel we really were given the opportunity to see China at the ground level. It was truly eye-opening what has happened to China in the past 30 years and all the mis-conceptions I had that remained to the Mao era were replaced by what we saw on this trip. Our tour leader was exceptional which certainly helped make this the adventure of a lifetime. We will be taking many more trips with OAT and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
