Here are a few reviews from our China trips…

A smiling man with a beard and tan sun hat, identified as the dig lead in China, stands outdoors in front of trees.

“This was our first Road Scholar journey and first visit to China. The seasoned leadership, faultless management, grace and humanity of our Group Leader made this trip invaluable for gaining perspective on China. We came to see his family and community through his eyes. Anyone considering this program, I recommend it highly.”

— David from Jackson, Mississippi | Road Scholar Class of ‘19

“This program was an excellent overview of China. To see so much of China and to consider the history really made me think a great deal about what the future may hold for US-China relations. Just what a Road Scholar trip should do ... expand the intellectual horizon! The organization of the trip and visits to local people were fascinating.”

— Geraldine from Los Angeles, California | Road Scholar Class of ‘13
