    Tour one day Beijing
    We took the tour of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall with our guide Helen. We were apprehensive about the time and organization. However, our guide Helen provided a great tour. Everything was well organized, with good historical explanations, we had enough time to see the tourist attractions, take photos, eat and even do some shopping. Helen was a great professional, punctual and kind. We recommend it!

    Day tour to Jinshangling part of the Great Wall of China
    If you want to experience the Great Wall away from the crowds and tourist gimmicks, this is highly recommended but it will take the whole day. Oliver was our hiking guide and provided hiking poles and snacks throughout. He is very knowledgeable about each different part of the Great Wall and its historical significance.



    Our starting point took two hours drive from Beijing. We then hiked up plenty of stairs for about 1 km before even reaching the Great Wall. But it was so well worth it! More

    Our starting point took two hours drive from Beijing. We then hiked up plenty of stairs for about 1 km before even reaching the Great Wall. But it was so well worth it! There was stunning countryside scenery with very few people. We hiked about 8km along the wall. It was quite steep and slippery at times so the hiking pole is very useful. Shoes with good grip are essential. Oliver gave us plenty of opportunity to end the hike at several turn off points if needed but we continued the whole way to the agreed end point. Then we were taken to a local family restaurant for a delicious and hearty lunch.



    It was an incredible experience and definitely more fulfilling than just a quick visit at the tourist crowded side of the Great Wall that is closest to Beijing. Less

    Travel China Guide’s Annie in Beijing
    Annie, our private guide in Beijing, was outstanding. With a mega city like Beijing, we needed a knowledgeable, flexible and strong advocate on your side. As an example, when heavy rain interrupted our tour plan one day, Annie was able to rearrange our schedule to maximize our time in Beijing. She also worked hard to make sure we have a wonderful and knowledgeable bicycle rickshaw driver for us to tour the historic Hutong area. Mr. Jong, our private driver was also excellent in navigating the More

    Candy Made Our China Visit the BEST!
    Had the most amazing time in Beijing. Our tour guide Candy was the best. Her knowledge of history and information for each site we visited during our 3 days in Beijing was extensive. Learned so much. She got us into each venue efficiently. Her personality is friendly, helpful and engaging. Our group was 16 adults and a 9-month old. When we come back for another visit, we’d love for her to be our guide again. Follow Candy!

    Amazing Beijing trip with Linda Xie and Mr Hao
    Linda Xie was a wonderful tour guide! We learned so much at all of the sites we visited- she was so knowledgeable! She was especially helpful with our 89 year old family member. She helped her in and out of the van and also during the tour. We saw so many sites and the timing was perfect. She stayed with us for hours at the train station to make sure we could get to the train via elevator with the wheelchair. We would happily take a tour with her again. Our driver, Mr Hao, was great!

    Great experience at Terracota Army
    If you look forward to a deep understanding of the history behind the Terracotta Army, you're booking the right experience. Our guide, Celine, did an outstanding job with all her knowledge while taking care of all the details for the group. She secured the best spots for a good view and pictures and guided us smoothly despite how crowded the place was. Our lunch was great. Pickup time occurred at the right time. Highly recommended.

    Great experience
    Great tour option! Really small group which is nice and the tour guide, Celine explained everything well and was very helpful and friendly. The cost is really good as well.



    We started early to see the terracotta warriors, then headed to the wild goose pagoda and then the city wall. From there, you can follow the tour to the muslim street or head pack to your hotel.



    Pick up from the hotel is included as well as transportation and ticket pricing. Overall, it was a really great tour More

    Great way to see Xi’an in a day
    I had one full day in Xi’an and this tour was perfect for seeing the must-see Xi’an places. Everything was efficient and Celine, our guide, was very good at making sure everyone had enough time to take in the terracotta warriors and the pagoda. She also explained a lot of the background history and context for what we saw as well as background on Xi’an. She answered all of my questions (and I had a lot) and was kind and informed and spoke great English. Highly recommend this tour.

    A good Travel Consultant is important.
    We visited China in March 2025. We were a small group of 5 people and we contacted Travel China Guide.

    We were so fortunate to have Emily Xin as our Travel Consultant because she is absolutely amazing.

    She was extremely helpful, very resourceful, and went well beyond that extra mile to guide & help us in so many ways.

    We arrived at different times, with some of us arriving later in the night. Emily stayed up until the assigned driver had called to inform her that our group member has More

    We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary planned by Emily and recommend Travel China Guide to anyone considering a China tour. Less

    Terracotta Solider Exhibit
    Our experience visiting the Terracotta Soldiers exhibit was truly exceptional, thanks to our incredible guide, Carol. She struck the perfect balance between providing fascinating historical context and allowing us the freedom to explore at our own pace. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and thoughtful approach made the tour even more meaningful and memorable. Highly recommend

    Travel China Guide private tour of Shanghai
    The Shanghai portion of our Travel China Guide tour was fast paced and guided by Sophie Lee who was outstanding. Sophie’s knowledge and experience of Shanghai were excellent. She took great care of the two of us which allowed use to maximize our time. As our private guide, Sophie was a strong advocate for us whatever and wherever we went. Her English was very good and always explained our itinerary in detail. Her driver and the van were also very good.

    Day trip to Zhujiajiao Water Town
    We took a day tour from Shanghai to Zhujiajiao with Sasa as our tour guide. She was amazing and very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Shanghai and its surroundings.



    The Water Town is touristy and quite crowded with tourists groups and school groups. There is a central canal that you walk along with boat rides as an option. We visited two private gardens - lovely Chinese architecture and landscaping and blissful to escape the tourist crowds. They are smaller than Yu Gardens More

    The Water Town is touristy and quite crowded with tourists groups and school groups. There is a central canal that you walk along with boat rides as an option. We visited two private gardens - lovely Chinese architecture and landscaping and blissful to escape the tourist crowds. They are smaller than Yu Gardens in Shanghai but I enjoyed them much more due to the peace and tranquility.



    The shops are all touristy but interesting to see the various wares. Overall I felt it was a touristy visit. Sasa was so helpful and went in her own time to get Bund cruise tickets for us as we had trouble booking online.



    We found all our various tour guides very helpful and flexible. I highly recommend using this travel company for whichever tour you decide upon. Less

    Short stay in Shanghai
    Had the pleasure of enjoying a short stay in Shanghai with our guide Sophie. She spoke excellent English and made sure every group member was taken care of, making sure we had opportunities for things such as bathroom breaks and explaining how to get around Shanghai. I also appreciated her perspective on how it is living in Shanghai today as a young professional.

And it was absolutely worth it! She also gave us the time to really enjoy the smaller towns like Suzhou and Tongli, showing always lots of understanding if we wanted to stay a little more. Thank you Sasa and thank you to the driver, a lovely man with very nice manners. Less

    Awesome Cruise with great guide
    The weather was excellent and we add an exceptional and beautiful cruise on the river. Our guide (Joanne) and driver were also very good, we did some extra activities after the boat such as cycling. The cruise is a must do when you visit China, the scenery are wonderful, the food on board is not great (take snacks) and drinks very expensive. This is a unique visit that worth the trip to Guilin.

    Travel China Guide private tour of Guilin
    Our Travel China Guide tour in Guilin/Yangshuo was outstanding not only due to the incredible views but also because of our local guide Samantha. She was extremely knowledgeable and took great care of us. Samantha made sure we maximize our time with all the information and experience of the area which included a visit to an elderly village couple. It was obvious that Samantha cared about this couple and we enjoyed sharing our time with them. The driver was very good as well.

    Amazing. To come back again with Travel China-Guide.
    We spent eight days with Tom Wu. The trip was perfect. Both the organization and the guide, Tom, along with the organizers Amy and Seline, provided us with all the information we needed to learn about Guanxy's history, its culture, its people, and its current way of life. We will definitely return to China with them, and it will be the third time!!!!!!!.

    Great experience!
    We had a lovely experience with our guide Qiuyan Li and our driver. Our guide was well experienced and she gave us lots of insights not only with respect to the beautiful landscapes, but also about the chinese culture and about their costumes.

    We spent another day with our guide visiting also the rice terraces and it was definitely worth it!!

    Thank you Qiuyan Li and thank you to our fantastic driver!!
  • Marco S
    Beautiful tour and amazing guide!
    I stayed in Guilin with my wife for 2 nights. Our guide, Qiuyan Li, was amazing! She took us to see the rice fields on the first day and on a cruise along the Li River on the second day. On both occasions, she gave us lots of information about the history and interesting facts of the sites, as well as very useful tips on less-crowded spots to enjoy the scenery and grab a meal!

    Qiuyan Li and our driver were really kind to us — it felt like taking a tour with family.

    Absolutely recommended!

    Amazing days in Chengdu and on Mt. Emei with Claire
    We had a very amazing privat trip with Claire and Mr. Hu, our driver!

After that Claire showed us Chengdus markets and teahouses. On the following days we went to Emeishan and had the fabulous chance to see the golden summit on top of mount emei on a sunny day - it was great!!!!! Remember that it takes 3 More

    A fantastic day tour with China Travel Guide
    Travel China Guide were excellent from the initial booking arrangements (Moon) through to the tour. Our guide Linney is a really lovely person, very knowledgeable (answered every question, and we asked lots!) and has perfect English. Both the panda base and Leshan exceeded our expectations. The driver was very careful and his vehicle was clean and spacious. Thank you for a great day!

    1 day custom private tour in Chengdu.
    Highly recommend using Travel China guide for your trip to Chengdu. We customised our tour to only visit the pandas and a tour of Jinli street as our time in Chengdu was limited. We had the most amazing travel guide Bella, she was very friendly and also extremely helpful . The tour was very informative and we learnt a lot from her. Thank you to Travel China guide , Bella and our lovely driver for taking care of us.
