Amazing full day tour with HelenHad the best full day tour today with our guide - Helen. We started at Tiannen Square, then onto Forbidden City, followed by a visit to the Jade factory, buffet lunch, then on to the Great Wall of China.

Brilliant in every wayI booked an 11 day tour for my family of 10. Amy dealt with all aspects of the booking and was excellent. I had numerous queries being a group of 10 with mixed nationalities, replies were always prompt and accurate, the tour itself was over 11 days visiting 4 cities with arrival in Shanghai, transfer to Beijing then 3 other city visits. I honestly couldn’t have expected better and would recommend this as it was brilliant

I have shared our experiences with our friends, and hope they will connect with you soon. Less

Best time in Xi’an with Carol!I had an absolutely amazing experience with my tour guide in Xi’an, Carol Chen. She was incredibly knowledgeable and taught me so much about the history, culture, and local traditions throughout the tour.

Exceptional guide CelineWent on the full day tour. Had an exceptional guide Celine who was fluent with English and managed to keep us entertained with her knowledge on the history of Xi’an and the discovery of the Terracotta Army. Fortunately for us, the tour happened on the day after the Labor Day holidays so it wasn’t too crowded.

Awesome tour guide and a great tourLily was a great tour guide, she explained everything clearly and answered the questions that were asked. The tour and the route itself were also very logical. The admission is included in the price, so dealing with the tickets yourself was not necessary. Got picked up from the hotel at 7:10 and finished the tour at around 5:30 pm. Overall, loved it!

Shanghai a la carte with AlainI was extremely happy with Alain as our tour guide for our Shanghai leg. Getting to know his backstory as a youth and the events that affected him over the past few decades, was very informative. It opened my eyes and corrected a few misconceptions I had on China. Very knowledgeable on the local history and held our attention throughout our time. Added surprise, Alain was able to communicate and spoke in English or French with no effort. We hit it off extremely well as his personality and age MoreI was extremely happy with Alain as our tour guide for our Shanghai leg.

We had an absolutely incredible day exploring Shanghai with our guide Celine, and we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. From the moment we met her, Celine’s warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the city set the tone for an amazing experience.
Zhujiajiao Water Town was a highlight we didn’t expect — Celine navigated us through the winding canals and ancient stone bridges like a local, sharing fascinating stories about the town’s history that we never would have discovered on our own. She knew exactly the best spots to explore and the right times to visit to avoid the crowds.
At Yu Garden and the Bazaar, Celine’s insider knowledge was invaluable — she helped us find authentic gems among the stalls and gave us the cultural context that made everything so much more meaningful. And the Bund at the end of the day? Breathtaking. Celine timed our visit perfectly.
What truly set this tour apart was Celine’s genuine passion for sharing her city. She was attentive to our pace, answered every question thoughtfully, and made us feel like we were exploring Shanghai with a knowledgeable friend rather than on a generic tour. Her English was excellent and her enthusiasm was contagious.
If you’re visiting Shanghai, do not hesitate to book this tour and ask for Celine. Less

Shanghai with RyanWe had the best experience exploring Shanghai thanks to our amazing tour guide, Ryan. From the moment we started, Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day feel effortless and fun.

As we visited places like Yu Garden and walked along The Bund, Ryan didn’t just guide us—he brought each location to life with stories, history, and little details we would have completely missed on our own.
Our day exploring Shanghai was the perfect mix of history, culture, and modern city vibes. We started at the historic Former HSBC Building, which gave us a glimpse into Shanghai’s colonial past. Walking along The Bund was definitely a highlight—the skyline views across the river are unreal and such a cool contrast between old and new Shanghai.
Next, we went to the Yu Garden, which honestly felt like stepping into another world. The traditional architecture, koi ponds, and peaceful pathways made it one of the most beautiful spots we visited. Right outside, we wandered through the lively Yuyuan Bazaar—super vibrant with tons of local snacks, souvenirs, and energy everywhere.
We also stopped by the Shanghai History Museum, which helped bring everything together and gave us a deeper understanding of how the city evolved over time.
To wrap up the day, we shopped and ate at Yuyuan Garden Shopping Mall—the perfect place to grab souvenirs and try some local food. Overall, it was such a fun and well-rounded day, with a great balance of sightseeing, shopping, and experiencing the culture. Less

Fantastic tour and tour guideThis was our first visit to Shanghai, and we were eager to experience some of the city’s top highlights. After reading many positive reviews, we decided to book this tour—and it exceeded our expectations.
Jackie Zheng was our guide, and Mr. Goo was our driver over the two days. Although we had some rain on the first day, we still made the most of it and were able to see a great deal. The weather improved on the second day, allowing us to fully enjoy a scenic boat ride along the Bund.

Jackie was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing rich history throughout the tour and patiently answering all of our questions. He even went out of his way to take us to a toy store so we could find gifts for our grandsons, which we truly appreciated.

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.

Great Li River Cruise with Tony (Mr Li) with TravelChinaGuideGreat Tour. Part of 4 day trip to Guilin/Yangshuo. 2 person group with private guide and driver. Tony explained everything along the way and then escorted us down West street in Yangshuo to our hotel. Tony had a great sense of humor and understood English very well. Highly recommend this tour and guide Tony. Having a private guide with driver also always your luggage to be driven from Guilin to Yangshuo with having to take it on the boat with you.

In Yangshuo, she didn't just give us directions; she took a bike ride with us through the countryside, ensuring we saw the best spots while sharing her deep knowledge of the area. Her English is excellent, her energy is infectious, and she is a joy to be around.
We are so grateful for the memories she helped us create. If you are visiting Guilin or Yangshuo, we highly recommend requesting Lily Cao!

Amazing scenary on the Li riverWe did the Guilin to Yangshuo river trip as part of a longer tour in China. It was a definite highlight of our trip - the scenary is absolutely amazing and we also enjoyed learning about the local cultures.

She consistently went above and beyond her duties. One of the most unforgettable moments besides visiting pandas, was when she guided us through tea ritual and introduced us to the art of calligraphy in a lively park setting. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience that we will always cherish. Thank you Julie for your dedication, warmth and for creating such meaningful memories in Chengdu for us Less
