Great tour!Very slick pick up. Our guide Murphy exceeded expectations from all the the great reviews I read before booking. In addition to hearing the history of the amazing sites, I learned so much about Chinese beliefs and culture relative to everything we saw. Enthusiastic and engaging and fun. Would highly recommend.

Beijing with Travel China GuideI can’t say enough about our Guide in Beijing Kurt Luo. From Travelchinaguide.com . We spent 3 full days with the guy and he never left our side. Even on the Great China Wall where it was snowing and very icey. He never left my wife’s side, to ensure she was safe.
His knowledge of local history is 2nd to none and makes it very interesting. His English is outstanding and even a hard of hearing person like me never struggled to understand.
I couldn’t recommend this guide enough.

Perfect way to see the Great WallI took this tour with my partner, my brother, and my parents and we all had an incredible day! Helen was our guide and she was so lovely, kind and knowledgeable.

Thank you Helen for making this day so magical for all of us!!! Less

Enjoyed our Great Wall Adventure!We had a great time with Helen! She was very knowledgeable with Chinese history and culture. She was also very helpful with our group when we have queries always very cheerful and full of energy. Thanks so much Helen highly recommended! We were lucky as it has snowed the previous night, so the view from the wall was like from a fairy land!

Wonderful Second Day in BeijingWe are a group of 6 from Puerto Rico. This tour was very good and our guide Murphy was excellent. It was our second day of tours here in Beijing after seen the Great Wall, the Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City the day before.

ExcellentOur guide Tracy was excellent and very helpful. She was very knowledgeable about Chinese history and could explain everything about the Terracotta army. She even helped us book other events in Xi'an and gave several good recommendations of what to do in Xi'an

Terracotta army is mind blowingI had a great time at Xian! Carol was our tour guide and she knows the history of Xian and Terracotta army! She is very pleasant and accommodating to us. I enjoyed learning about Xian’s history! We went to Terracotta army museum, Goose pagoda, Xian city wall and tried some food at Muslim quarters. No shops! Had a blast

A must to visit Xi‘An’ main attractions in a short timeVery nice and well-organisier day-trip to the terracotta army, to the big Pagola, to the City wall and to the muslim street.

More than a simple touristic tour, Lily made from it a nice cultural and human experience. All this despite a grey and rainy weather. Thanks a lot for that nice experience! Less

Awesome experiienceLily was an exceptional tour guide who made our visit truly memorable. She guided us through the Terracotta Warriors and the city wall with clear, concise explanations that brought each site to life and made the history easy to understand and appreciate. Her knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting the city with Lily as your guide—you’ll be in excellent hands.

Taste of Chinese HistoryAn absolute must for anyone interested in Chinese history! Xi'an provides the opportunity to see relics from the Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties, including the world famous Terracotta Army and the site of Xuanzang's embarkment to India. It also gives the opportunity to try some excellent Xi'an style food like Biang Biang Noodles and Roujiamo. Tour guide Lily was highly engaging.

Shanghai - a one day taste that is filling!My guide, Ryan, made this one day tour worth every minute. We saw some key highlights of the city (including a river cruise in the fog which made for wonderful moody photos!) but it was the information and insights shared by Ryan that made every location come alive. There were also 2 things not on the itinerary that I wanted to do and Ryan made those happen! Amazing guide and worthwhile experience.

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.

Great and memorable Shanghai tour with Ryan!This was our second time touring China with TravelChinaGuide and we are happy that we did. We really enjoyed having Ryan as our tour guide.

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. He even helped us order coffee and lunch. The ferry ride was a perfect way to see the city and talk about the history.

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. Highly recommend MoreWe had a great tour with our guide Helen. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pick up to the hotel drop off.

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!

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.

Pandas and Poets!No visit to China is complete without seeing pandas, but this tour offers far more than that, including a visit to the famous People's Park with its matchmaking market and tea, as well as Du Fu's cottage, a serene monument to China's most celebrated poet. Anyone interested in Chinese literature and lifestyle will enjoy this trip, especially with the inclusion of fuzzy pandas! Tour guide Joy was spectacular and really brought the city to life.

Most of all the places that i have visited are convenient if we come with elderly and wheelchair accessible. This is the second time i came to China with the same agency and the overall service is beyond my expectations from the planning with the agent (Emily) and the service provided from beginning of the tour until the end.

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.
