Ivan227A wonderful way to experience China as a group!Our group of friends had a great time in China. Amy helped with all of our planning and customized the itinerary to suit our needs. She was helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, which made it easy to coordinate with our group. We spent 9 days in Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu. We could easily have spent another week seeing all of the sights in those cities!- Ivan227A wonderful way to experience China as a group!Our group of friends had a great time in China.

Darren.McDonaghAbsolutely incredible experience on this full day tourI did this full-day Beijing tour as a solo traveller and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—largely thanks to our guide, Helen.
From the moment the day started, she was warm, organised, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought each stop to life, whether we were walking through Tiananmen Square, exploring the history of the Forbidden City, or taking in the incredible views at the Great Wall. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does—she wasn’t just reciting MoreI did this full-day Beijing tour as a solo traveller and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—largely thanks to our guide, Helen.

She brought each stop to life, whether we were walking through Tiananmen Square, exploring the history of the Forbidden City, or taking in the incredible views at the Great Wall. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does—she wasn’t just reciting facts, she was telling stories and making sure everyone felt involved.
As someone travelling alone, it can sometimes feel a bit daunting joining group tours, but Helen made it so easy to feel included and comfortable. She checked in regularly, made sure we all had what we needed, and kept the day running smoothly without ever making it feel rushed.
The whole experience felt well-paced, informative, and fun. If you’re considering this tour—especially as a solo traveller—I’d highly recommend it. And if you get Helen as your guide, you’re in very good hands. Less

Priyanwada GThe easiest way to do the Forbidden CityWe had a wonderful experience visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing. We didn’t want to wander aimlessly and with the language barrier, it can be difficult to fully understand what you’re seeing, so we decided to go with a tour. It was absolutely worth it.

From the very beginning our guide Helen stood out. She went out of her way to find us at the meeting point and gave clear practical instructions on what to carry so we could move through security smoothly. Somehow, she got us through incredibly fast while we saw many other groups stuck in long queues.
During the tour, she brought the Forbidden City to life by blending history with modern context in a way that felt natural and engaging. It never felt like a memorised script, which made the experience much more enjoyable.
She also made sure we had time to take photos along the way. I would have personally loved a bit more time, but given that it’s a group tour and we covered a lot of ground the pacing made sense.
What stood out the most was how she handled a small mishap on our end. I accidentally left my phone charger on the bus and Helen went completely out of her way to send it to the Great Wall (our next day stop) and leave it at a restaurant for us to collect. She was incredibly kind about it and didn’t make us feel like it was an inconvenience at all.
Overall, it was a very knowledge filled, thoughtful and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this tour, and if you can, ask specifically for Helen. Less

Based on traveler reviews- Priyanwada GVisiting the Terracotta Warriors: experience of a lifetimeVisiting the Terracotta Warriors has been in my bucket list my whole life. This time when we visited Xi’an, I was finally able to cross it off.
We took a tour because it just made sense due to language barrier you otherwise face in China. The tour was excellent, led by Tracy. She was super knowledgeable about the history of not only the Terracotta Warriors but about entire China history. She made it super engaging, even questioning us (in a fun way) about the stuff she told us. MoreVisiting the Terracotta Warriors has been in my bucket list my whole life.

She navigated us through the Terracotta Army Museum like a pro and worked very hard to ensure everyone enjoyed the tour of Xi’an. Less
Tara BA Great Overview of Xi’anMy friend and I only had one day in Xi’an to experience as much as we could. This tour was very informative and we got to see all the highlights! Carol was an excellent guide and very responsive to guest questions and requests. The size of the group allowed for her to take time to talk with everyone on the trip and she was considerate of everyone. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the Terracotta Warriors as well as highlights in the city.

Maribeth NShanghai 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.

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
CherieFantastic 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.

Greta NShanghai - 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.- caroline gJames: A Knowledgeable, Accessible Guide to ShanghaiWe were in excellent hands with James. He is very knowledgeable about Shanghai and about China in general - its history, traditions, and economy. He guided us throughout the main visits included in our tour, explaining things in detail at all attractions. He also provided tips on where to go at night, where to eat (especially traditional Shanghainese food), and other places of interest to visit. He speaks very good English and was available via WeChat at all times during our stay in Shanghai.

Foo Chek Shiun DA Wonderful Day In Guiliny friends and I had a wonderful experience in Guilin . The scenic boat ride was indeed as wonderful as what we were told . Although our trip was a hectic 1 day trip , our local guide , named Oscar , made our trip smooth and relaxing with great care and experience. Most of all , he speaks good English, thus provided all of us with clear n useful informations in all expects of the tour and our needs . We all enjoyed this short but wonderful trip.
vickyed888GORGEOUS GUILINMy wife and I recently undertook a trip to China which saw us visit the cities of Guangzhou, Guilin, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Every city in China has its unique attractions and, no doubt, the feature which made Guilin stand out was its limestone hills/ mountains. It is easy to see why people rate Guilin as the most beautiful place in China. Of course, the 4 hour cruise down the Li River is a must and an experience not to be missed or forgotten.

Another outstanding "feature" of our time in Guilin was our tour guide, Oscar Lu. He was not only knowledgeable about the place but he also made his narratives so interesting. Above all, he was always sensitive and attentive to our needs and always looked at things from our perspective. When it was time for our train trip to Chongqing, he gave us a map of the station in Chongqing so that we would know exactly where to go when we got there. He even gave us the name and contact number of the person who was meeting us. Having missed our guide at another station, we greatly appreciated this thoughtful gesture on Oscar's part. Once again, A HUGE THANK YOU, OSCAR!
