Customer Reviews
Excellent and energetic. The guides had wonderful personalities and were logical thinkers who made all the right decisions. I couldn’t be happier with them and it meant my involvement was minimal! The kids became highly reflective as the trip wore on and loved the active activities. Saint Paul American School, Beijing
Guides were beyond fantastic with a lovely manner with our students and very knowledgeable. Thank you. YCIS, Hong Kong
From planning to the trip itself, the experience was seamless and professional. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making sure that throughout the trip all the students had an interesting and enjoyable time. The itinerary was well-planned and allowed us to see and experience a variety of different activities and locations. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend TLA. Dulwich School, Beijing
