TripAdvisor Reviews

Recently, my family used Travel China Guide to organise our trip to Beijing and Xian. I want to thank Emily, the tour consultant, for her quick and efficient responses to our requests, as well as her well-planned daily activities, hotel arrangements that met our needs, and transportation logistics, which made the trip hassle-free, enjoyable, and stress-free. The tour guides in Beijing, Ms. Selina, and in Xian, Ms. Celine, were both fantastic, caring for us with warm hospitality, punctuality, and good food suggestions. We will definitely use their services again when we visit China. Less

This is the second time I used Travel China Guide for my 17-day Yunnan tour starting from Chongqing, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-la. Kina was my contact, she was always there and very attentive to my needs and requirements. From train/flight tickets to hotel arrangements, she organized them impeccably, keeping me well updated. The different guides and drivers all along the various stopovers (especially driver Yang who accompanied me all the way from Dali, Lijiang to Shangri-la) are polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Believe me, it's a memorable experience and I will not hesitate to use their services again. Less

My boyfriend and I went to China on our private tour for 14 days. We found November to be a perfect time, with cool but clear days and very little crowds at most attractions. As our tour was private, we had an assigned travel agent who could help us make specific changes to the itinerary.



Ms Emily Xin was our tour agent and she was amazing. From when we first reached out to when we were on the tour, she was quick to respond to any of our queries or changes we requested be made to our trip. She also gave us consistent updates on the booking process of the trip. When we requested to change the round trip cable car at the Great to a chair list up and toboggan slide down Ms Xin immediately made the change. The week before we left, Ms Xin once again reached out to provide us our full itinerary in a printable document which also included all contacts for our guides.



We had four guides over our trip, one for each city. In Beijing Selina was our guide. Selina was one of our favourite guides, perfectly balancing giving information while letting us enjoy the attractions. She had lot of historical and cultural knowledge on all sites we visited. She also gave us good recommendations for places to eat. When we first arrived, Selina helped us set up a metro pass in Alipay. This fundamentally changed our trip allowing us to easily navigate the train system with ease. While we likely would have eventually worked it out on our own, Selina's quick intervention meant we were able to enjoy Beijing to its fullest.



Our second guide was Roger who showed us around Xi'an. Roger had an incredible amount of knowledge. He was able to answer every question we had and provide us with information that we wouldn't have ever thought to ask. At times the onslaught of information could feel a bit exhausting and more like a university lecture than a tour group. However, I imagine that in a bigger group this would not pose as much of an issue.



Jason (or LJ as we called him) was our guide in Zhangjiajie. He was also one of our favourites, being absolutely amazing from start to finish. At every attraction he expertly navigated what little crowds there were and made sure to show us attractions of the beaten path. He even organised for us to visit the Huanglong Cave when we spontaneously decided to add it to our itinerary, going so far as to hand draw us a map. Zhangjiajie was spectacular, and we would highly recommend LJ as a guide for any person going there.



Ryan was our guide in Shanghai. He had very good knowledge of the history of Shanghai which we found incredibly interesting. He also timed all our stops on the tour very well giving us enough time to first hear the information and then enjoy the stop by ourselves.



Overall, this was a fantastic holiday. All our hotels were in excellent locations and had comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffets did cater towards Chinese guests more than the western diet, however there are options that most would enjoy. Choosing to travel with this company was definitely the best decision. Every detail was managed for us. Ms Xin and all the guides were so helpful and attentive towards us, and it truly made for a magical holiday. Would absolutely recommend this tour and the company to anyone looking to enjoy China.

Fantastic Beijing Tour with Rocky — Highly Recommended!



I had an amazing experience on this tour, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Rocky. From the very beginning, he was punctual, organised, and welcoming. His explanations of the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, and the Hutongs were clear, engaging, and filled with fascinating insights.



Rocky was extremely attentive and thoughtful throughout the day. He guided us smoothly through the crowds, checked in on our comfort, and even helped us take wonderful photos at all the best spots — he really knows the good angles! The entire tour felt relaxed and enjoyable.



The van was clean, spacious, and comfortable, making the journey between locations very pleasant. With Rocky’s great sense of humour, patience, and genuine passion for Beijing’s culture, the whole experience was not only informative but also truly enjoyable.



Thank you, Rocky, for making this tour one of the highlights of our Beijing trip. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Beijing! Less

We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of some of Beijing's key landmarks today. Starting at 8am allowed us to beat the crowds and have a peaceful visit to the serene Temple of Heaven. Our knowledgeable guide, Helen, provided excellent historical context that enhanced our understanding of this iconic site.



The next stop at the Summer Palace was a highlight. We were glad we opted for the longer walking route through the stunning Long Gallery, which Helen guided us through expertly, bringing the palace's history to life.



Exploring the charming Hutong neighborhood by rickshaw was a wonderful was both informative and engaging.



Throughout the day, Helen's passion for sharing Beijing's rich cultural heritage was evident. Her warm and personable guiding style ensured we felt welcome and comfortable. We can wholeheartedly recommend this private tour as a wonderful way to see the tour’s sights with an exceptional guide. Less
