Xi’an, Guilin, Longsheng custom tour

My recent 9 days tour of Kunming, Dali and Lijiang for a group of 10 ppl were very well planned according to our request right up to the hotels, tour guides n even the drivers were well selected by her. We were overwhelmed by the breathtaking view of the Yulong snow mountain n the rapids at the tiger leaping gorge. Besides the scenery, we were able to experience the different ethnic minority cultures in these 3 different cities and even travel back in time of our forefathers n experienced their native ways of living at Shaxi n Shuhe Ancient Towns. Thanks to Amy’s well planned itinerary, we were able to enjoy these spectacular sites. Looking forward to our future holidays with TravelChinaGuide. Once again thank you Amy for everything. Less

Bang for the Buck Beijing Day Tour with Mr. Murphy
Our tour guide, Mr. Murphy, was truly outstanding. From beginning to end, he explained every attraction with clarity, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge, making the entire trip both educational and enjoyable. What impressed us the most was how inclusive he was—he always made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. No one was ever left behind, as he constantly checked on each guest before moving to the next stop.

The itinerary was superb. It covered all the must-see highlights of Beijing in just one day, without feeling rushed. If you only have a single day to explore the city, this tour is absolutely perfect. Well-planned, smooth, and full of meaningful insights into Beijing’s rich history and culture. 10/10 Less

Xian Terracotta Warrior Museum
Beijing and Xian were truly memorable. I especially liked Xian. because of our amazing tour guide Carol. She is very knowledgeable and super caring. She took us to the terracotta warrior museum and gave us a detailed explanation of the history. I got to make my terracotta warrior. The next day she took us to the city park and we practiced taichi with the master. She arranged the most delicious lunches with local flavors. I would like to visit Xi’an again and hope to see Carol again.

A day out led by the awesome Rita!
I had an awesome day on this tour with Rita. She was full of enthusiasm, knowledge and humour to help make the trip memorable. We visited the Terracotta Army, and then sites within Xi'an itself including Wild Goose Pagoda and the city walls. She had great insight into many aspects of the places we visited and she has also visited my home country which was good as she had an understanding of me and where I am from. Even after the tour, Rita was very helpful and offered her advice if needed. This More

This was perfect as I had been suffering with back pain and she was able to recommend me an acupuncture specialist and arrange me an appointment on the same day. Rita is a credit to the company she works for and a great promoter of China as a whole. Thanks! Less

Excellent Tour!
Before the tour, I was concerned that trying to see so many things in a single day would be stressful. However, everything was very smooth and well organized, yet relaxed. There was no stress at all.

Roger is an informative and excellent tour guide with great communication skills and English language skills. We had a wonderful time! Thank you, Roger!

I highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable visit to the Terracotta Warriors!
A great tour. Rita was our guide (from Travel China Guide) and she was wonderful. She was on time, in the minibus she gave us lots of historical info about Xi'an and China in general. On the site, she guided us very efficiently through security checks and so on, and gave us again useful information about the Terracotta Warriors. Her English was excellent. We never fell being rushed or pressed by time. A great guide for a great visit!

Carol was an exceptional guide in Xi'an

Definitely worth it
Did 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. Ryan definitely knew the city and provided insider tips to navigate the More

An excellent day tour of Shanghai
We 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 More

A great way to see Shanghai in a day
Our day tour in Shanghai was a great experience and Juliet was an excellent guide. She was very informative and we enjoyed our time with her. The restaurant for lunch she chose was delicious and very reasonably priced. A great way to experience Shanghai in a day.

Lovely Shanghai!
We had a wonderful trip to Shanghai!

Our accommodations were amazing. We stayed at the Radisson Blu Hotel in the center of the city. We enjoyed a tour of Shanghai Tower which had an incredible view of the city.

Great Shanghai tour with Helen
We spent two days with Helen and could not have been more pleased. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and informative regarding the history and culture of Shanghai and made sure we saw all the important sights. She was always considerate of our interests and made sure our trip was as comfortable as possible. Travel China did an excellent job with arrangements and the prepaid meals were delicious and always more food than we could eat. Highly recommend this company and Helen.

Sunny day and sunny LongSheng Terraces
Private tour in LongJi rice Terraces in one day. My guide was Monica who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. She asked me my intentions for that day and made everything to give me a complete tour of those hills and a relaxing walk through that scenery. Before reaching the train station we also had time for some walk in Guilin city center where she explained to me some nice features and past history of the city. Completely satisfied with Travel China Guide and Monica.

Great Tour in Guilin
We visited Guilin attractions and Janet was our guide. The visited points were outstanding: the Reed Flute Cave, the downtown lakes and the Elephant Trunk Hill; the Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo; the villages of Jiuzian and Dashizhai. Our guide, Janet, was also outstanding: nice, precise, knowlageble and helpful, she added value to our cultural experience and pleasure to our trip.

Unique Guilin - Yangshuo cruise and exploration
What a beautiful area of China this is! We had a picturesque river cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with the escort of our guide Kevin and later on explored the surrounding area of Yangshuo with him. We enjoyed his ideas of the itinerary and his deep knowledge of the area. A very artistic person, he explained to us about the culture, the history and art of the area and he very patiently showed us every detail during the cruise that we should not miss.

Of course I can’t forget to mention the excellent choice of places to eat he suggested. We cannot thank him enough! Less

Great trip; highly recommended
Alice (guide) & Mr Wei (driver) were amazing throughout the whole trip. Always punctual, communicated really well and gave a very good narrative on all the places we visited. The places we visited were magical, very nice attractions, Guilin is really beautiful. We loved every part of the itinerary and we could not recommend it enough.

Chengdu day trip
A 1 day trip to Chengdu. Our tour guide Charles was excellent. He showed us the beautiful City of Chengdu. Our first stop was the Panda Research Center. It was a lot of fun seeing so many Giant Panda’s, some sleeping perched high in the trees, others eating and being playful. Next, we had an authentic Sichuan lunch, Charles ordered for us, everything was delicious, especially the beef, pork and vegetable dishes. Our next stop was Kuanzhai Alley, a lively area.

Chengdu - Pandas and Parks
We did this day trip through an organised 10 day tour of China. Julie and our driver were punctual and polite. Julie was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a fabulous time with the Pandas and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the day visiting the historical sites. Julie gave us a small gift of a fan which we decorated with calligraphy and pictures whilst we had traditional tea in peoples park. A really lovely day Julie thank you.

Pandas and all things nice!
Chengdu was really fun to visit. Of course, seeing the pandas was the highlight but Chengdu had a lot more to offer. The Jinsha Site museum was beautiful and the People's park was fun! Our guide, Julie was lovely and helped us spot pandas and take photos. She also took us to a brilliant coffee place and helped us with organising lunch. She had a lovely sense of humour and was a delightful guide.

Visiting Chengdu was an amazing experience but what made the whole experience more carefree was our guide Mrs. Claire Chen. One of the most smiling, polite, kind and knowledgeable guides we had.

Great Panda Experience
We have a wonderful time at the Panda reserve in Chengdu. Our guide Maggie was very delightful. We managed to see around 20 plus pandas in the reserve and observed one panda feeding and two fighting! The Jin Sha site museum was a welcome addition to our trips in terms of history and culture. Thank you Travel China Guide and also to Maggie, our tour guide. She was very informative and helpful.
