WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING |

"Our trip with On the Road was a very personalized, individual road trip in China, where we felt we saw the real China, off the beaten track, on back roads, where you see whats's really happening in very remote areas of beautiful China."

  Dr. SunJoined Journey: Private journey in Yunnan
"We visited a Tibetan family near the Sumtseling Monastery where there is a lady of some 80 years of age. She was very warm to people and I remember she showed me her medications because I’m a doctor. She took me to her private temple and prayed for me. In a lifetime of travelling experience, these encounters are very, very rare. Natural, scenic beauty, anyone can see, but such real people encounters, they are very very rare and special."

 Michele LaiJoined Journey:
“What was quite interesting, before the trip, I remember, I didn’t think we’ll need the devices, but then the children said “Can we pack this, and that and all that?”, and I did, and I packed the computer and the iPad, and put it into a small luggage, and it never came out from the beginning to the end of trip, no one asked for it… they were so occupied, every single minute, they were happy exploring, looking at things, no one asked for anything, I was so happy!”

 Rod OlsenJoined Journey: Two private journeys with based on "From Yunnan to the Lanna Kingdrom" and "Searching for Shangri-La"
"Well, the test is, whether they [the customers] come back again, and we’ve been back twice and are planning a third one!"
|
 Nick BryanJoined Journey: "Escape to Shangri-La" (a shorter version of "Searching for Shangri-La")
"We expected a reasonable standard, but it was just above and beyond!"

 Elisa Ong & Jason Joined Journey:
"The adventure of a lifetime for me!” “And would you come back again?” “Oh yeah, Definitely…Tibet, Tibet!"
|
 Hugh & Emma GrahamJoined Journey: "From Yunnan to the Lanna Kingdom" and a private journey for friends based on "Searching for Shangri-La"
"The whole team, incredible attention to detail, being introduced to the cars, and finding the small umbrella in the glove compartment in order to get to the big umbrellas in the back of the car, that was really something, now that’s attention to detail. When we stopped for coffee, it’s not just any old coffee...but it’s really, really good coffee. Small details like that, they thought through every aspect…”

 Olimpia SalasJoined Journey: "On the Road in Shangri-La" (an earlier version of "Searching for Shangri-La")
"Besides buying my own house, this is the best money I've spent in the past 5 years…I like adventure and visiting new and exotic places, but I also like comfort; my camping days are in the past; and I got both [adventure and comfort] on this trip."

 Gary WangJoined Journey: "On the Road in Shangri-La" (an earlier version of "Searching for Shangri-La")
"10 days in a part of China that would amaze even seasoned world travellers, and with a superbly organized, tight little group."
|
 Gene GalbraithJoined Journey: "On the Road in Shangri-La" (an earlier version of "Searching for Shangri-La")
"It was a fascinating view of a part of China that is undergoing rapid change yet somehow manages to retain much of its cultural uniqueness."
|
 Michael PriceJoined Journey: "On the Road in Shangri-La" (an earlier version of "Searching for Shangri-La")
"Not so much a holiday as an experience of a lifetime; a fascinating glimpse of an eclectic mix of old and new China. Highly recommended and a definite must do."
|
 Lynette RyanJoined Journey:
"I must admit that I didn't really believe the photos that you sent around before the trip – the women in traditional clothes on the side of the street, the green fields stretching for miles – but it was all there and all amazing. The best thing of all for us was that, while we didn't have to think at all about the details of the trip, we never once felt pressured or over-organized. The "tour" was really just a comfortable group of great people to share the trip with…"

 Michael SchumacherJoined Journey:
"And then we turned a corner, saw a beautiful pasture under a snow-capped mountain, and stopped for a picnic...the most beautiful picnic I ever enjoyed in the middle of nowhere, joined only by Tibetan nomads..."

 Phoebe YehJoined Journey: "Yunnan through a Lens: The Exotic South" (a previous version of "Yunnan through a Lens: Red Earth and Fields of Gold"
"Very special experience off the beaten track...would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to get access to local communities while having all your needs taken care of. Peter and his team did a superb job with organisation and Ron's [link: www.ronyue.com] passion for photography and skill for teaching it made the journey even more enjoyable."
|
 Vicki SampsonJoined Journey: "Mountain Kingdoms of Yunnan" (previous version of "Searching for Shangri-La"
"My first trip to Yunnan with On the Road Experiences blew my mind. One of my best and most memorable trips ever. China is stunning and I felt privileged to see parts of the country where very few people have travelled. Actually, I loved it so much, that my family and I joined our second tour this year!"

 Andrew LawJoined Journey:
(Comment about his first journey to Tibet) "The two weeks of traveling had been a great fun, and it wouldn't have been possible, so smooth and so successful, without the diligent effort and preparation of our journey host. Thanks to Jo and the crew! They have been great. I told Peter that this was our ‘Dream Drive’, and frankly all the wonderful memories sometimes still find their way into our dreams."

 Terence KuJoined Journey: A private journey in Asia with Porsche Club friends; a private journey in Europe with friends; “Yunnan through a Lens: Red Earth and Fields of Gold"
"Traveling with the On the Road team feels, each and every time, like traveling with a friend!"

 Günter WertenbruchJoined Journey:
"Your journey is like a Rolls Royce. It was expensive, but long after one has forgotten the price one continues to remember the value and the quality. And since we’re quoting others, the following applies to On the Road as well: ‘The small things are what makes perfection, but perfection is by no means a small thing.'"
|
"I would like you to know that I consider our journey in Yunnan the best trip of my life. Everything was perfectly arranged, the scenery unforgettable and the care of Zoe and Mr. Bai remarkable!"
|
 Christine PeterJoined Journey:
“It is absolutely amazing! You manage every day to surprise us even more. How on earth did you make a picnic appear in the middle of absolutely nowhere?"
