    We crossed 7800 kilometers through China starting from Kyrgyzstan and ending to Laos. RideChina had a also one motorbike and a support van and a trailer in case of a breakdown. Well planned itinerary with lots to see on the way. Our tour guide Jah was helpful and very professional. Can definitely recommend.

    We used Jah and Ride China for our September to October 2023 crossing of China from Kyrgyzstan to Laos.
    Excellent from beginning to end. Jah was endlessly patient and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to use Ride China again, already planning next year's trip. Special shout out to Tang who drove the van.

    The China tour for me was meant to be a way to get past the countries i couldn't get in to ( Iran and Myanmar mainly) but it ended up being so much more.  I normally avoid group riding, but in china it worked out well, we were given more freedom than i expected,  the people in the group got on well despite an age range from 20 to 66,  Jah, our ever calm, ever smiling guide actuall rode the whole route with us on his own motorbike, which worked  really well. Tang, the support van driver appeared to work miracles by always seeming to be no more than an hour or two behind us despite incredibly busy roads that appeared to be almost gridlocked as we weaved and filtered through almost stationery traffic on the bikes,  yet Tang would turn up at the hotel an hour or so later. All hotels were included in the tour package, and were way above the standards I'm used to when travelling, it was a month of luxury for me.   So if anyone wants to cross china search for "Ride China"  its an excellent package, and definitely the best available.
