Chinese overland companies- which one?
 

We have been looking at two companies who take bikes/vehicles through China and wondered if anyone had experience of either of them
Navo tours and China Overland (which I believe is based in the Netherlands)
Price seems slightly in favour of Navo at the moment but they say you "may" have to pay part of the Customs deposit - sounds a bit odd and don't want to be stung for a large amount when not expecting it.
Would love to hear from anyone who has had experience (or knows someone) of either company

Navo
 

Wissam is riding 240,000km around the globe. 18 months. goodwilljourney dot org and for China is using Navo this year. He is due to enter China on 25th of May so we can post more accurate information at that time. So far very professional in planning, accurate and responsive.

In 2012 we were using Sichuan China Youth Travel Service (China Exploration) they were just ok. We were expecting more for the price.

Will update you after a month further on Navo.

I think NAVO is mainly used by big / commercial expeditions. We also enquired with them two years ago for our Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan leg in China and they're very professional and prompt. But they're also very expensive, especially if you're party consists of only one or two motorcyclists.

In the end we went with Wayne, because his price was reasonable and he had good reviews on this forum. However, Wayne handed us over to Taher of 'Kashgar Adventure Travel International' who did all the paperwork. We were quite happy with Taher's service and he was a friendly guy. He's on the HUBB as 'Taher'.

Good luck.
