Good Tour and Rocky is the bestWe are so lucky to have Rocky as our guide. He is very professional, knows the best point to take photos, take special care for the tour members who have special dietary requirements. He has good coordination with the driver so we didn’t really have to wait for the driver. The driver’s driving skill is impressive as well. We like the tour arrangements as well. Exactly what we wanted.

We truly felt well taken care of and would highly recommend Travel China Guide's services to anyone planning a trip to Yunnan. Less

An excellent English-speaking guide for Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden CityHelen was an excellent guide for our visit to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. She was friendly, helpful and genuinely fun to be with, accompanying us throughout the entire tour and assisting us smoothly during all security checks and access procedures.

Highly recommended for her professionalism and kindness. You can trust her completely for an English-speaking tour, which is truly essential in China, where it can be quite difficult to find guides who speak good English. Less

Unforgettable day at the Great Wall and Forbidden City with Rocky!We had an amazing time exploring Beijing’s most iconic landmarks with Rocky. He guided us through the massive Forbidden City and took us to the Great Wall, making sure we understood the incredible history behind both sites. What made the tour even more special was that Rocky is a fantastic photographer! He took so many wonderful photos of us at all the best viewpoints, so we could just enjoy the moment without worrying about our cameras. Rocky is professional, energetic, and a great storyteller.

A fabulous day in Xi-an with our guide, CarolWe had a wonderful day with Carol, touring the Terracotta Warriors, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, the City Wall and the Muslim Quarter in Xi-an, today.
She was so informative about Xi-an’s rich history and answered our many questions with patience. She is a very warm, welcoming person. We highly recommend Carol as an excellent guide in Xi-an.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Xi’an – Carol is the Best!Our family recently returned from a trip to Xi’an, and I cannot emphasize enough how much our guide, Carol, made this experience special. If you are planning a visit to this historic city, do yourself a favor and ask for her!
Carol isn't just a guide; she felt like a knowledgeable friend showing us around her hometown. She took all the stress out of navigating the crowds and truly enriched our understanding of China’s heritage.

Stellar Tour in Xi’anDid the all day tour that was terracotta soldiers, Goose pagoda,city wall and Muslim quarter. Our guide Carol was outstanding! Her English was very good and we had no difficulty understanding anything said. She was a wealth of knowledge about everything Xi’an. She knew so much history about the city and all of the sites we visited. She knew all the dates, dynasties and emperors. She made certain to accommodate our bathroom needs, food needs and made wonderful recommendations for food and sites.

An amazing and reasonably priced tour of the Terracota ArmyWe had good time in Xi’an because of this Terracotta Warriors Museum / Pagoda / Xi’an City Wall / Muslim Quarter yesterday because we had good guide name Carol.
Carol is very knowledgeable, polite, patience and helpful. She guided us and another family with her excellent English and dutiful.
Carol even helped us book the Xi’an evening show with good seats. We would like to thank her and recommend this tour with Carol as a guide

James: A Knowledgeable, Accessible Guide to ShanghaiWe were in excellent hands with James. He is very knowledgeable about Shanghai and about China in general - its history, traditions, and economy. He guided us throughout the main visits included in our tour, explaining things in detail at all attractions. He also provided tips on where to go at night, where to eat (especially traditional Shanghainese food), and other places of interest to visit. He speaks very good English and was available via WeChat at all times during our stay in Shanghai.

Definitely worth itDid a last minute booking because I was not prepared for how big Shanghai was and was able to secure a private all day tour. Ryan, our tour guide, not only showed up early but had a driver ready to go. He took us to all the important spots on our list and answers all our questions. Zero language barrier.

An excellent day tour of ShanghaiWe had a great tour with our guide Helen. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pick up to the hotel drop off. Helen guided us through the beautiful Yu Garden after which we had some free time to explore the adjacent shops. Then we were driven to the Bund area for an hour long boat tour on the Huangpu river. Lunch was included at a very nice Chinese restaurant and we finished the day with some time in the Shanghai museum. An excellent day out with a very knowledgeable guide.

GORGEOUS GUILINMy wife and I recently undertook a trip to China which saw us visit the cities of Guangzhou, Guilin, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Every city in China has its unique attractions and, no doubt, the feature which made Guilin stand out was its limestone hills/ mountains. It is easy to see why people rate Guilin as the most beautiful place in China. Of course, the 4 hour cruise down the Li River is a must and an experience not to be missed or forgotten.

Another outstanding "feature" of our time in Guilin was our tour guide, Oscar Lu. He was not only knowledgeable about the place but he also made his narratives so interesting. Above all, he was always sensitive and attentive to our needs and always looked at things from our perspective. When it was time for our train trip to Chongqing, he gave us a map of the station in Chongqing so that we would know exactly where to go when we got there. He even gave us the name and contact number of the person who was meeting us. Having missed our guide at another station, we greatly appreciated this thoughtful gesture on Oscar's part. Once again, A HUGE THANK YOU, OSCAR!

Guilin and areaWe stayed 3 nights in this wonderful area. 2 nights at the Shangri La (superb) in Guilin and one night in Yangshuo. We did the Li river cruise, the night spectacular (rivals Fantastmic), bamboo river rafting, biking through rice fields, tasting fruit, climbing 500 steps up a mountain for gorgeous views, an evening lake cruise downtown Guilin, tea tasting and much more. What a treat. Our guide Samantha was the best part of this leg of our trip!

Best tour guide ever - GuilinI have traveled all over the world and been lucky enough to have many, many amazing tour guides. Lily is the best of the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind, nurturing, fun, funny, flexible, and an all-around amazing human. It's not often that a tourist would visit a tourist destination and leave missing the tour guide the most, but I feel like I made a lifelong friend in Lily Cao and I'm so grateful to have had the privilege of being guided through beautiful Guilin by her.

Very good experienceI did the 3 day Guilin tour, with this day tour included. Our guide, Monica, spoke excellent English and was very proactive in explaining the history and culture of Guilin to us. The tour company also catered well to our dietary requirements, which I appreciated. They also organised good quality hotels and a driver for us. The Li river cruise was also of high quality, and the scenery was beautiful. No negative experiences.

Wonderful Day with the Pandas!We had a wonderful tour to the Chengdu Panda Sanctuary with Julie. She was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating throughout the day. Even with a last-minute request to use the shuttle service, Julie handled everything smoothly and navigated the park with ease to ensure we had a comfortable experience.
Her easygoing nature and thoughtful support made the tour truly enjoyable. We would highly recommend Julie to any visitors looking for a kind, and flexible guide in Chengdu.

On the boat cruise to see the Leshan Giant Buddha, Bella ensured we had the prime viewing position.
From the lively Jinli Street to the serene Wenshu Monastery, Bella’s insights were invaluable. She shared her extensive knowledge of Buddhism, which was especially meaningful for the Buddhist member of our group.
Bella consistently checked in with us, prioritized our safety and comfort, and handled logistics like our onward train journey with meticulous care - even confirming stops and boarding details.
Bella’s passion for her profession is evident in everything she does. We have no doubt she has a very bright future and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Chengdu. Less
