    Perfect way to enjoy Beijing highlights
    We went on this tour together with our 7-month old son. Rocky was really helpful during the tour with assistance with the buggy and was really knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We really enjoyed ourselves. The communication was clear, the guide was punctual and knows his history with the right amount of humour. The tour exceeded our expectations, perfect way to see the Beijing highlights in a day.

    Excellent Tour with Helen!
    We had a wonderful day with this tour, but my absolute favorite part was the visit to the Great Wall of China with Helen as our guide. Everything was perfectly organized and on time, including pick-up and transitions between stops. Helen was thoughtful and attentive to everyone in our group of 15. She recommended visiting the Wall in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, which was a great call. She clearly explained the different options to go up—either by cable car or riding chair—and the toboggan More

For lunch, she suggested a buffet but also offered other choices, which we appreciated. The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended! Less

    Incredible day with Barry!
    We had a day tour with Barry today.

    He was incredibly kind, friendly, cheerful, and very attentive. He spoke great English and shared so much interesting information with us! A super cool and pleasant tour guide!

    I highly recommend him and hope to meet him again someday.

    Thank you for this amazing day tour, Barry!

    Even after the tour, he’s always available to answer any remaining questions.

    A fun day out touring with Mary
    Finally ticked one of my bucket lists to come to Beijing Tianmen Square, Forbidden City and Great Wall of China ! Given our very short trip, we had a great start to the day with Mary who was punctual and led the group of 11 of us to the attractions with smooth walk, cable car up and a fun slide down from the Great Wall !! Thank you Mary for your attentive service. Mary was extremely helpful and willing to share her knowledge, and kept the whole group engaged at all times! Would love to have her More

    5 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience with Lisa!
    Lisa was the perfect guide for our Great Wall tour! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience feel so personalized and special. Her passion for the history and culture truly brought the Great Wall to life. She also took amazing photos for us and knew all the best scenic spots. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide – highly recommend her for anyone visiting China!

    Small group, more personal experience.
    We had an incredible experience today, thanks to our wonderful guide - Rita. She was not only nice and welcoming but also highly knowledgeable and professional, ensuring that everyone in the group felt engaged and comfortable. The trip was well-organized, making every moment enjoyable, and the time spent at the Terracotta Warriors was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an insightful and smooth experience.

    Best tour guide ever
    Our guide, Roger, was absolutely amazing. We were on a private tour with my 89yo parents with mobility issues. He was careful, respectful, kind and accommodating. He went out of his way to help them. He treated them with deference and respect as one would their grandparents. He was knowledgeable of Xian and it's history but it was his personal attention that made him outstanding. We nominate Roger, for best tour guide in China!

    Perfect days with our Guide Carol in Xi'an
    On our tour through China, we arrived in Xi’an from Beijing by train, where Carol from Travelchina Guide was already waiting for us with a sign! We had the chance to visit the Terracotta Army and other major attractions with Carol and our driver! Carol had extensive knowledge, explained everything to us, and we had a great time with her! Additionally, Carol gave us great tips and even organized a dinner theater show for us! Thank you, Carol, we would definitely do another tour with you anytime!

    Great all day tout of Xi'an
    Well organized tour of the main highlights of Xi'an city. Our guide Roger was nice and explained a lot of interesting historic facts about every area we visited. The lunch is not include but the guide will get you to a local restaurant for you to eat and help you to order. There was water provided during the tour which was very helpful (beautiful day but hot and dry, make sure to check the weather and bring all necessities for your comfort). Overall, I would recommend this tour to be able to see More

    A memorable holiday in Beijing and Xian
    My family and I, all six of us, organized a private tour of Beijing and Xian through Travel China Guide in April 2025. The whole trip was well planned and we had two experienced and wonderful tour guides, with Linda in Beijing followed by Roger in Xian. Besides the many stories on the history of china, they were very helpful and patient throughout the whole journey. We all had a memorable time and highly recommend going through them again

    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

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.

    Great tour of Shanghai, Suzhou and Tongli
    We spent two days with our guide Sasa and the driver and the tour went smooth and was really nice. Sasa was really pleasant to talk to and adapted the starting time of the tour based on our needs. We were really thankful, since my husband and I were both tired and therefore her kindness and availability allowed us to rest and thanks to this fully enjoy both days with full energy! She gave us interesting information about the city, good tips with respect to where to eat and drink and also gave us More

She gave us interesting information about the city, good tips with respect to where to eat and drink and also gave us a great hint with respect to an unexpected light festival in Shanghai that we weren't aware of!! 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.
  • Freddy Y
    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!

    Highly recommend Emily at Travel China Guide
    This is our second time working with Emily of Travel China Guide. As we experienced on our first tour, the service was EXCELLENT!! We have recommended Emily to friends who also booked with her and they too had an exceptional experience. We love China! The country is beautiful and the people very friendly. (and very affordable)

    Pandas, Culture, Food
    Fabulous trip with lovely Claire - everything was beautifully arranged and a great mixture of pandas, history and food! Would definitely recommend the Sichuan Food Museum Cooking course, and of course the trip to the Panda base. Perfect weather (cool enough for the pandas to run about!) and no crowds as just after golden week

    Panda: a dream becoming true
    Has been an amazing trip visiting Chengdu and all the beauty of the town. The pick has been the Panda Conservation Center: for me, a dream becoming true!

    Nothing could be so perfect without our incredible guide LuLu, a very nice girl, professional that had taken a great care of us always!! Thanks very much LuLu for your help and your kindly smile!! See you in a very near future!!
