Amazing time in Beijing with our lovely guide Vincent
Vincent was ourt guide for the Beijing leg of the journey and he is genuinely amazing. He's not only friendly and very helpful, but he's also professional and very well organised. I never felt like I was being rushed, he had everything very well planned and if anyone in our group had any issues he made sure everything was resolved in a timely manner. He did his best to accommodate everyone's needs, always answered everyone's questions. His commentary on the various places we visited was always More

His commentary on the various places we visited was always interesting and engaging, I never felt like I lacked for information or that I didn't understand a location or the history. This was a great experience in Beijing and I would absolutely recommend him as a local guide for your Beijing stay. Less

Tiananmen Square/Forbidden City/The Great Wall - The Best of Beijing
Our tour package included Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, and then the Great Wall. I would absolutely recommend a tour group for the first two activities as it was insane trying to navigate into the square and I doubt I would have been able to do it on my own. Our tour guide was Rocky and he was a total pro. He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable! The pace of the tour struck a good balance of fast-paced, but with enough time to stop and take in the sights. The square and Forbidden More

Our tour guide was Rocky and he was a total pro. He was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable! The pace of the tour struck a good balance of fast-paced, but with enough time to stop and take in the sights. The square and Forbidden City are rich with history and there was no shortage of stories for Rocky to tell. My personal highlight was seeing the Great Wall. The drive out is quite scenic on its own, and once you arrive you are rewarded with stunning views of the mountains. The view from the wall was like nothing I’ve seen before, and while the hike was quite arduous, it was super rewarding getting to the end. The toboggan ride back down was super hype, I would recommend finding a time when people haven’t gone down in a while so you can ride down as fast as you can without having to brake for anyone in front of you.

All said, the tour was excellent and highly recommended. Rocky made sure we had fun and took lots of photos for us to commemorate the trip. Rocky rocks! Less

Tour was great! Helen was amazing!
5 out of 5! Helen was our tour guide and she was amazing! During the tour she would tell us the history about the places we were at and helped us get through lines as fast as they would let us. This was our first day here as well so we asked non-tour related questions and she was able to help with that as well. Also at the end of the tour she booked us a Didi free of charge to get back to our hotel since that would be faster than having everyone get dropped off one at a time. Absolutely loved it More

Reliable Travel Consultant
My trip to China started with what Kina Lu customized a 10-day trip to Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Shanghai. She answered all my questions promptly and provided links for tips for the trip. I just have to keep track of each email with replies that attached to previous emails so that it’s easier for Kina as well as myself to see what has been asked before the trip. Kina patiently answered all my questions and concerns.

AmaIng tour with a fun guide.
It was amazing trip. My guide, Mary ,picked us up at exact time and took care of everything. She was very knowledgeable and tried to explain as much as possible. She even knew which toilet is dirty and which one is clean. She would even bargain for me when I tried to buy some souvenir so I got half it for half price. She was hard working and had such a fun vibe. I highly recommend her :) Also, the van was really clean and cool. They provided water for us as well and made sure we are comfortable More

Rita crushed it at the Terracotta Warriors tour
Rita was super smart and made the whole day smooth despite the rain and big crowds. She shared tons of history and fun facts on the hour-long drive there, then gave us space to explore and take photos at our own pace. Loved the balance between guidance and free time. Lunch was a highlight too — traditional Xi’an food with easy options for vegetarians and halal folks, and Rita helped us order. On the way back she let everyone nap which was clutch. She really brought the Terracotta Warriors and More

Great Way to See Xi’an
The tour kicked off with the Terracotta Warriors, and on the way there, Tracy gave us a really helpful overview of Xi’an’s history and what to expect at the site.
The minibus was clean and comfortable, which made the whole day feel easy and relaxed.

After the museum, we visited the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and walked part of the Ancient City Wall. Both were highlights in their own way, with great views and a real sense of the city’s past.

Unforgettable tour of Xi’an with Jacky – Terracotta Army, Pagoda and City Wall made truly special in a single day
Our guided tour in Xi’an was an unforgettable experience!

Best tour we took in Asia!
We have been traveling around Asia by ourselves and on and off we book day tours. Today our tour went far beyond our expectations not just because the places we visited were spectacular but because our guide Jackie (Chinese name I think Dong), was wonderful!

Jacky spoke great English, which is not too common around China, was very informative, friendly, knowledgeable and brought the history of the places alive to us.

I wish we could take him with us to our next stops!!!

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

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.

Our guide, Ryan, was knowledgeable and attentive, which made the tour smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore China with a trusted local agency!

An Unforgettable Day on the Li River with Lily

We very much enjoyed an amazing lunch with tea while on our day trip. Our trip to Yangshuo and cruise on the Li River was an event of a lifetime! Words cannot describe the beauty of this part of China. Our stay at Yitian West Street hotel was perfect. Beautiful town with a vibrant nightlife. Be sure to try the local beer fish as it is delicious! Oscar was a consummate professional. He exceeded any expectations we had and was willing to go out of his way to accommodate all our needs. Our driver (also named Oscar) was professional in every manner and very safety conscious which was greatly appreciated. A trip of a lifetime by a truly wonderful company -- Travel China Guide. Less

For a Li River cruise,Joanne provided a packed lunch for us in case the food on board was not to our taste. As we spent most of the day on the viewing deck we did not experience the meal service. The scenery was spectacular and Joanne pointed out certain landmarks for us .When we disembarked our driver was on hand to bring us to the next experience which was a E Bike ride in the countryside along the river viewing rice,corn and water chestnut fields along with the spectacular scenery.Totally amazing.

After a hotel stay and dinner in pedestrian street Yangshuo, next morning we were off up the mountains to a viewpoint which overlooked the Li river(lots of steps) with amazing panoramic views. After some fantastic driving along narrow and winding roads we arrived back in Guilin for an overnight stay at a hotel. That evening we got to experience the pedestrian street in Guilin and had dinner. The following morning we were driven to the Airport by our Travel China companions and after assistance at check in we departed to Xian.

Memorable experience and great service from the Travel China Team everything was so well organised .Must be recommended. Less

Informative and beautiful
Guilin was a very beautiful experience. Our guide, Arthur, was very informative and knew about all the local landmarks and cuisines. Most importantly, he was very friendly and accomodating and this made the trip very enjoyable. We were able to view beautiful landmarks such as Elephant Hill as well as key geological attractions during the river cruise. The beautiful sights combined with am informed guide made this trip one to remember.

China Travel for Chengdu experience
Already at the trainstation when we were met by Jane, our local tour guide, we knew we would enjoy Chengdu.

Tour through Chengdu with Bella
Our Guide, Bella, was amazing. Her lovely character and deep local knowledge captivated us instantly

We did a quick tour of chengdu as our overall itinerary was time limited and were left with a feeling of really having seen the highlights as well as knowing a lot more about the local culture.

She even adjusted our route on the fly to include the peoples park, even though we did not originally have it planned.

Id recommend asking for Bella if you book yourselves!
