    Brilliant tour
    What an amazing way to explore the highlights of Beijing! Despite the free water provided, I would reccomend bringing your own bottled water in the morning as queues can be very long at Tianamen Square with little/no access to purchase drinks (especially if you're travelling outside the free pickup area since the water is only available on the bus). Thankfully, our guide Helen was incredibly helpful and accommodating and quickly escorted us to water/bathroom facilities when available. She also More

Despite the free water provided, I would reccomend bringing your own bottled water in the morning as queues can be very long at Tianamen Square with little/no access to purchase drinks (especially if you're travelling outside the free pickup area since the water is only available on the bus). Thankfully, our guide Helen was incredibly helpful and accommodating and quickly escorted us to water/bathroom facilities when available. She also provided many interesting facts about the history of the locations and guided us to quieter areas to take better photos. She was an amazing guide and I cannot praise her enough. Unfortunately, the first day of my tour was cancelled due to weather concerns, however TravelChinaGuide fully refunded that day of the tour as well as organising tickets for me so that I could explore the locations myself. Further to this, the Mutianyu section of the wall was sadly closed however the Badaling section was extraordinary and definitely not a wasted visit. Thank you Helen and thank you TravelChinaGuide.

    Wonderful tour in China
    Our tour was absolutely unforgettable! The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to experience iconic landmarks in China.

    The organization was flawless – comfortable hotels, smooth transfers, and a well-paced schedule that left us time to enjoy the visits. Our guide Linda Xie was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail, sharing fascinating insights about Chinese history and culture.

    A brilliant tour with Helen to see the Great Wall, square, and forbidden city.
    Helen took us on a wonderfully tour and was very informative and really taught us a lot of interesting things about the sights we visited and Chinese history and culture. I do not speak the language but Helens English was amazing. So was a breeze for all of us to understand. It was really great to see a few of the major sites in around Beijing and even when the great wall was closed because of rain and slips Helen had reorganized a special trip out there the very next day.

    Amazing sights and a rich history
    As the first chapter to my time in China, I was thoroughly excited to see what Beijing had to offer and I was not disappointed.

During this trip, we visited famous landmarks such as the forbidden city, Great wall of China and the Summer palace. The vibrant views were accompanied by a rich history, narrated clearly by Barry.

    Our guide Mary made our 2 days in Beijing very special with her good humour and positive energy.
    Mary our guide brought us around Beijing for the last 2 days. She was very good humoured with a great personality. She had in-depth knowledge of the sights and continuously monitored that our group was following and ok. The places she suggested on both days for food had a wide variety of tasty dishes. Her energy, enthusiasm and joy made our two days in Beijing very special.

    Wonderful experience
    Would highly recommend this tour from start to finish. We were arriving by overnight train from Beijing and the company gave very clear meeting instructions and stored our luggage for the day. Carol, our guide, spoke impeccable English, was kind and funny, knew all the spots to take good photos at the terrace cottage warriors, and answered all questions knowledgeably. Overall couldn’t rate this tour highly enough.

    Xi'an silk road connection created a vibrant multicultural community in a unique environment
    Being the first time I have used a tour company because I had limited time in which to see as much as I could. This company was great both the driver and the guide Roger, made visiting all the incredible sites Xi'an has to offer easy. Considering it is peak season with crowds of holiday makers it's a credit to them that they achieved this. I highly recommend this company it's tour guides and drivers they go out of their way to make sure everything you hope to see and do is done.

    Well-paced and Insightful Tour of Xi’an with Celine
    We had an excellent tour of Xi’an with Celine as our guide, covering the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the ancient city wall. Celine was knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive throughout—bringing each site to life with historical insight and a warm, personal touch. The tour was well-paced and thoughtfully organised, making it easy for our family to enjoy the highlights of the city in a single day. Highly recommended.

    AMAZING
    Our 8 day China trip with our tour consultant Emily, tour guides; Laura(Beijing), Lily(X’ian), Rose(Shanghai), Wally( Beijing) went smooth and hassle free despite losing one of us losing our passport!

    So much to see in Shanghai!
    Our guide Kris was very friendly and full of information! We learned a lot when visiting Zhujiajiao, Yu Garden, and about the European quarter while on the river cruise. He was also very helpful if we had any difficulty translating things, and gave us great suggestions on food/restaurants to try, as well as places to visit in our free time. I would recommend Kris as a guide, and would love to visit Shanghai again.

    A great day in Shanghai
    You definitely need more than 1 day to experience Shanghai but I had been here before and this time my 2 daughters came with me and they did not care about going to some tourist attractions so we decided to get a private tour to get the highlights of the city. Kris, our tour guide, was wonderful. We exchanged ideas where to go and what to experience. In addition, he gave me ideas where to go after the tour.

We tried so many local food/snacks as Kris took us to trendy local spots. Less

    Our time in Shanghai
    We had an absolutely wonderful time in Shanghai. Our tour was not only educational but also highlighted things that were interesting and important to our family. It was customized to our desired itinerary. Candy was kind, knowledgeable and personable. Our whole family enjoyed our tour. She did an excellent job keeping the tour relevant and entertaining. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

    Perfect day in Shanghai with Sophie Lee
    Our tour guide, Sophie, took us around Shanghai. We visited the Shanghai Museum, the Bund, did a river cruise. In the afternoon, we visited the Jade Buddha, which was a very big and interesting temple. Afterwards, we visited Tianzifang, which is the French quarter. This was a very lively area with lots of art shops and boutiques. Sophie also helped us with souvenirs and navigating the food choices. All in all, it was a great day, which we enjoyed a lot.

    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.

The beautiful sights combined with am informed guide made this trip one to remember.

    Beautiful Guilin and Yangshuo
    we had a great trip to Guilin and Yangshuo!

    the scenery was unforgettable!

    Our guide, Lily Cao was excellent!

    she provided super interesting background to every visit, made us feel comfortable all the time and went the extra mile to accomodate any special request.. local meals, shows, extra visit, adjusting the time schedule to our preferences etc.

    Fantastic scenery, amazing tour guide
    Gulin was the 3rd stop on our tour and so far the best leg of our trip. The views were truly stunning. Samantha, our guide, was passionate about the area and the people and gave us lots of information and recommendations for food and a spectacular evening show on the river.



    The Li River cruise was definitely a highlight of our holiday.

    Beautiful Guilin with Ada
    In each city we had a different tour guide and driver. Most were professionals ready to help and assist. But in Guilin our guide was Ada. Ada is a completely different level of guide. With her you don't think about anything, you just enjoy the beautiful Guilin because she has already thought for you. With Ada it's like being with your best friend.

    Our tour guide in Guilin was Kim. He helped us enjoy all Guilin area had to offer. On our first day, he took us to Longshen rice terraces, which is a beautiful area. On the second day, we took a Li River cruise, enjoyed the beautiful karst hills along the way. The boat and the trip down the river was very nice. We came on shore in Yangshuo, Kim got us bikes, which we rode along the Yulong river. The view from the bridge on the river and along the bike path were incredible. On Kim's suggestion, More

On Kim's suggestion, we attended the Romance show. We really enjoyed this show, which was about the history of the Yangshuo area. On our last day, we went up the Yao mountain in a cable car. The views from the top were amazing. That day, we also stopped by the Reed Flute Cave, which was an enormous caves with beautiful rock formations. Some reviews I had read earlier had made me question whether this cave was worth it but we really enjoyed it. All in all, we enjoyed our time in Guilin tremendously thanks to Kim, he is a very friendly, knowledgeable local guide. We are glad we went with China Travel Guide, everything was perfect. Less

    My family had the pleasure of touring with Charles, who made our time in Chengdu an unforgettable highlight of our trip to China.

He went above and beyond, taking the initiative to order us extra snacks, fresh fruit, and even bags of tea just because he overheard my wife say she liked them.

We were also impressed by how knowledgeable he was; he was able to answer my family’s many questions not just about the tourist sites, but also about Chengdu’s local culture and everyday life. Charles was also exceptionally organized while still remaining flexible to our interests and my children’s spontaneous requests. Whether it was finding specific shops or local foods that weren’t originally on our itinerary, he was always happy to accommodate.



    My family truly had a memorable time in Chengdu, and Charles played a major part in that. He was not just a tour guide, but also a friend to us. If you're visiting Chengdu and want a tour guide who is proactive and passionate about what he does, I wholeheartedly recommend Charles. Less

    A fantastic tour guide
    I went to China along with a tour group (a bunch of random other people) at the end of June 2025 and spent 2 days in total in Chengdu - one day to get there and get back. We met Bella in Chengdu who was super helpful.

    She is a kind,considerate and friendly young lady who is quite knoledgeble, capable, speaks really good Engliah and keen to help her patrons. She definitely has the right attitude for a job that can be demanding at times. Hence I have given her a 5 star review.

    Bella was fantastic!
    We had a wonderful holiday in Chengdu. In addition to delicious food, we were able to get up close to many gone pandas and visited an active archeological site. Bella was very kind and knowledgeable, and provided white glove service throughout. Our 8 year old son Bodhi loved Bella and hopes to keep in touch. Highly recommend.
