During sightseeing, they bring each location to life with fascinating details and anecdotes, sparking the students' interest in cultural traditions through engaging storytelling techniques.
  Upon request or for larger groups, there will be a national guide to escort the whole group throughout your journey in China to assist teachers with student care at airports, railway stations, and during train or flight journeys.
