Small Gatherings (groups)

Walking Connection host and local resident guides

lead curated adventures.

True freedom is knowing that you have a team of adventure travel professionals covering the details so you can enjoy a big adventure.

Our small gatherings usually consist of 6 - 12 guests. They can be a collection of friends and family, random guests, or a combination of both that join us on selected departure dates.

The details of your adventure come with over 3 decades of experience of getting them just right. Our plan is built using our own brand of "must-see" spots, but also knowing that each day offers new and sometimes exciting unique opportunities for us to explore together or on your own.

“You have made this a super sojourn! It has been one of the highlights of my life. Every day in China was an enjoyable time.” ~ Rick K.
