"Greg Michaels is the best tour guide in the world. He can make China feel as comfortable as home and as interesting as China." Jesse Eisenberg, Oscar Nominated for Best Actor, The Social Network

"Greg was our guide on our first visit to China. We have travelled extensively and with many guides but Greg stands out as one of the best guides we have ever had. Nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge of China, its people and language, guaranteed a top class tour." Helen and Stephen Wilkes

"Greg has so much respect for the local culture, and he helps the traveler gain insight all along the journey. I certainly hope I get to travel with him again!" Alison McFall

"Besides always knowing the absolute BEST places to eat wherever we went, Greg's experience and knowledge made the exotic accessible, the strange understandable, and the challenges always 'doable.' Greg's the best!" Toni Jensen

"My wife and I spent three weeks travelling through Japan with Greg as our guide and I have to say he is one of the best we have ever had. Quite aside from being a meticulous and effective organiser of transport and hotels, extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited, the local customs and off the beaten track sights he is humorous, charming and engaging with an infinite supply of entertaining anecdotes to suit all occasions. Greg really went the extra mile to make sure our trip was special, if all guides were this good none of us would ever stop travelling." Christopher and Zelda Anthony

"Could not have had a better tour leader for this once (probably) in my lifetime trip. Greg was a knowledgeable & professional guide, but it was exploring & travelling with an old friend rather than someone who was dictating what, when, where. I saw & understood more of "real China" in 2 weeks than I would have thought possible - he was the second most important travel item after my passport!" Christine Aspinall, Cheshire, England

"Greg's tours are supremely enriching immersion experiences filled with unparalleled adventure, inspiring encounters and learning opportunities that engage all your senses. If I could, I would spend my life on one of his tours!" Anna S, NYC

"Experiencing China and Tibet with Greg proved a truly fantastic and unforgettable trip - Greg's a really insightful guide and leader, knowledgeable about the small things that makes a place special and also the wider historical, political and social context. Greg's attentive to cater to the needs of different people within any group and to keep all the complex logistics running smoothly. Most of all, Greg has an infectious passion for travel and adventure, which certainly rubs off onto the people lucky enough to travel with him - I'd certainly recommend the experience!" David Knott, government advisor, London

"Who? Greg Michaels? Oh yes...I remember him! Bloody good tour guide for our journey across China! Knew the country like a native. Could argue like one too. (You have to witness the finesse, tact and increasing volume of such interchanges to fully appreciate the expertise that Greg applies when conducting his negotiations with Chinese tradesmen). Greg IS the best tour guide in the world. Looks good for his age too. Check out his photos. Do you know that he's 83?" Christiana Awojinrin, computer programming teacher

"We have been adventure travelling for over 25 years and Greg stands out as the best leader..that says a lot. Our 28 day trip China/Tibet/Nepal revealed his exceptional skills: fluent Mandarin and other languages; a food guide who each evening surprised us with interesting small restaurants at incredibly low prices; a genuine personal rapport with locals who warmly welcomed his return visits; a vast knowledge of culture, politics and geography - including geology, of course; a quiet competence that enabled us to relax and enjoy a very intense few weeks. He also introduced us to the concept of "confluence points" - check out that website!" " Juanita and Jim Tupper, West Vancouver, BC, Canada

"Thanks, Greg, for being both knowledgeable and generous in sharing your experiences with us; you truly open doors." Chris Grimshaw

"Myself and my Wife travelled through China with Greg for 3 weeks and found him to be knowedgable, approachable and friendly.... we couldn't have asked for more from a tour leader. Thanks, Greg." Rob & Helen Riley-Ditchfield"
