We have been very satisfied with your service regarding the delivery of the tickets. When we arrived at our hotel in Guangzhou the tickets were already waiting for us. Compliments!

Super helpful and professional staff. On our way back, we were afraid that we would miss our train, and because it was during one of the Chinese festivals, it can be very difficult to change your tickets for the same day. We contacted them and they were able to inform us about later connections and also instructed us about how to change our tickets, which can ve tricky if your Chinese is pretty poor.

I thought the booking service was very helpful and thorough. You had a good grasp of the procedures and solutions to purchasing the tickets and delivering them in a timely fashion. I was very satisfied overall. I thought the way you handled e-mail correspondence was very effective.

The train from Guilin to Guangzhou was a pretty good experience. The check in at Guilin station was simple and straightforward, and the waiting room was large and filled with people of all nationalities. The train itself was very well-maintained, and the seat were comfortable. Although the train arrived in Guangzhou a little bit later than expected, this wasn't a real issue. ...More

Although the train arrived in Guangzhou over three hours late, this wasn't a real surprise, and it was a bit difficult to figure out the breakfast menu on the train for anyone who doesn't speak fluent Chinese. But that was also to be expected....More

The booking procedure was fluent and the train summary very clear and customizable. I'm not giving full stars just because I wasn't aware of the non-effective booking even after the purchasing and, though present in the Terms and Regulation page, it wasn't sufficiently underlined during the transaction process (i.e.: when it comes down to money). The customer service was very thorough and responsed very quickly.
I might reuse this service, whenever in China again.

We booked 3 diffrent train trips for a group of 30 people, one of them a night sleeper. Everything went well. Especially the communication was fast and perfect. The train tickets were punctually delivered to an address.

Also when trains were overbooked already, Travel China Guide offered alternatives.

All in all we are thankful for the service!

Was all in all perfect; two points I would recommend: You should persuade your customers much more, that they let their train tickets be sent to their hotels - I hesitated and decided only in the last minute to do so, but I'm pretty sure that it would have been very stressful to pick them up at the train station.
Maybe you should underline more that the tickets are for a certain train wagon and certain seat number, nearly missed that info.

The booking process was perfect thank you, easy to use. The problem was it took over an hour to collect the ticket in Guangzhou and was very stressful as we had to push in front of others to get a ticket at the last minute and run to our train.

Hello, The train booking was very good experience. The train itself was excellent and service was great. However, I will say that picking up the tickets at the counter in train station is very bad. There are too many people and English is a problem explaining to pick up tickets. Staff in Train station are not will to help tourist. I would recommend that Travel China tell all customers to have their tickets delivered to hotel, or Travel China company speak with train station staff and explain them how to serve the tourists....More

check out from Guangzhou airport to Guangzhou North railway station
Hi, my Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore to Guangzhou Baiyun airport is ETA 12:20 noon. Is it wise to buy train tickets for my family from Guangzhou North to GZ South, train departure at 13:58 (G6075)?

We will then take another train from GZ south on to Guilin. How much time do you suggest for train stopover at GZ south?

I think the time is not enough to catch G6075 at 13:58. You may need to prepare around 1 hour at the airport for immigration and luggage collection. And it takes around 30min to reach North station. So you do not have time for ticket collection and boarding process. I think you may consider to use metro service to GZ South directly, 1.5 hours on the way.

I am not sure which wharf you are heading too since there are two of them. But Guilin Station, the main station is the nearest one to both of them. The next one should be North Station and finally West Station. I think Zhujiang wharf is more often used for international travelers. By taxi, it should be around 45min from the main station, 50min from North Station and around 60min from West Station.

If you are flexible with the travel time, it is OK to buy it at station directly. If you need to travel at an appoint time, it would be better to book it in advance to guarantee availability.
