China Tour Reviews

My trip through Travel China Guide was excellent. How refreshing it was- not to have to worry about details: transportation to a venue, where to eat, hotel selection and checking in, and city to city transfers. All of these details were handled by the Travel China Guide Tour Guides and Coordinators. In addition, the restaurant selection and hotel selections were excellent. Lastly, I enjoyed the tour guides insight about each of the cities, their people, and the significance of the cultural event or their historical relevance. Thank you Travel China Guide Tours for a memorable vacation.

Overall, very satisfied. The tour guides were great and knowledgeable. Accommodations were also quality and comfortable. I would do this again if I ever come back, The only thing I would like to see change is when flights were needed, it would have been nice if a vegan meal had been ordered for me. Since this was listed as a requirement by myself when I booked it should have been done (IMHO). Other than that no other incidents or issues.

We had an awesome trip. The tour loop around Poland was perfect for our group of 4. Having some issues with walking distances we chose this tour so that we could move at a slower pace. This worked great for the private tours. However, 3 of our group could not do the Salt Mine since it required 800 stair steps. This was not explained ahead of time or we would've only purchased 1 ticket. The Salt Mine does have a handicap accessible tour so we wish that had been scheduled for our group. Likewise, the Auschwitz tour was a group tour and 3 of our group could not go in the buildings, nor was the tour guide willing to slow down for them. Also, our itinerary stated the group would be approx 15 people which is not true. We had over 30 people in our group and there were so many groups scheduled that we were continually waiting in long lines to get in and out of the exhibit buildings.

The rest of the trip was absolutely enjoyable! The hotels were very nice, had wonderful breakfasts that filled us for the day, and were located in areas that allowed us to walk to restaurants and experience the towns after the driver dropped us off for the day. The private tour guides were great and came up with flexible ways to include those in our group with limited walking capability. Our drivers in Gdansk (Omnibus Tourist - Andrew) and Krakow (Spectrips - Sebastian) were great. Sebastian was actually our tour guide to Zakopane and around the city. He gave us insight to everyday life and we were ready for that after hearing about the history of Poland for several days.

What would I do different next time? I would add an extra night in each of the cities so we would still have the same tours but extra time to explore on our own.

We had an awesome time!! I highly recommend the tour.

We recently used Lilly for Gullian and surroundings trip and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was incredibly detailed, offering not just the usual tourist spots but also hidden gems that made the experience truly special. The maps were accurate and easy to follow, and the cultural insights helped us connect more deeply with the place. What stood out most was the practical advice—transportation tips, local etiquette, and budget-friendly recommendations were spot-on. I especially appreciated the suggested itineraries, which balanced sightseeing with relaxation perfectly. She is extremely friendly and one of the best guide I ever met

I travelled to China with my daughter. This was my first time and my daughter's second time to China. We had a wonderful time and all of the guides from Travel China Guide were first class! Our guides Kevin (Beijing), Carol (Xi'an), Arthur (Guilin), Julie (Chengdu) and Mary (Shanghai) gave us a rich history of the cities we visited, making the experience insightful and very memorable. A special shoutout to Kevin and Carol who help us navigate through large crowds in Beijing and Xi'an. We could not have seen all we did without them! Also, thank you to Wendy for helping us prepare for the trip.

My son and I had a wonderful trip in China.
The tour was well organized and we felt everyone made sure the trip went smoothly.
The guides were great and not only educated us but went the extra mile to make our trip stress free and enjoyable.
For example, we lost a backpack at the airport in Beijing and Kevin our guide helped us to locate and retrieve the bag at the airport. Kevin knew the history of China extensively.
Sunny in Zhangjiajie was very kind and knowledgeable. His warmth and enthusiasm were wonderful.
Lilly in Xi’an was very informative.
William in Shanghai was very sweet and his knowledge of the city was impressive.
Our drivers also were great.
In terms of the hotels, all were very nice.
The lunches provided by the tour were very good, especially the Peking duck we had in Beijing.
Overall our experience in China was fantastic and I look forward to returning back.

I've agonized over this. How do you attempt to put into words the perfect trip. Everything was just that -- perfection! There was not one part of this trip that could possibly be improved upon. Not one part! The accommodations were beyond anything we could have hoped for or imagined.. Beautiful hotels that were all centrally located to the attractions that we desired to see. Tour guides who were all very knowledgeable of the cities and attractions we visited as well as China itself. All were friendly, courteous and professional even when the tourists (us) were not always easy to deal with. They met both our every need and request especially when it came to my health concerns and diabetes requirements. Absolutely no barriers were encountered when it came to communication. Everyone was more than fluent in English and showed great deference when it came to my hearing difficulties. The drivers in every location showed great knowledge of their area as well as observing safe driving skills. That was much appreciated! Not one thing would we have changed. Lastly, when it comes to our travel consultant, Emily Xin is INCREDIBLE! I had over 25 communications with her throughout the booking process, and she replied to every single one professionally and expediently. She is an asset to Travel China Guide (Xian Marco Polo Tours) and a wonderful example of the professionalism exhibited by all their staff. Thank You so much for the trip of a lifetime! China is AMAZING!!!

Our trip to China was amazing! The local guides were fantastic! They were knowledgeable, personable, spoke great English, and knew exactly what we wanted to see and do. The hotels were very nice and centrally located which made logistics each day very efficient. The travel by van and plane was well organized and got us where we needed to be with no issues at all. The food was delicious and the country as a whole is beautiful! We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful five-day getaway to Guangzhou, expertly organized by Travel China. The itinerary was well-paced, combining scenic sightseeing, signature local meals, and enjoyable shopping—all delivered with a touch of luxury. Our guide Milton and driver Mr. He were exceptional: always punctual, attentive, and professional. Their care and coordination made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed travel experience.

We went to Beijing, Pingyao, Xian, and Guilin with Wendy Lee, and would highly recommend them. Advanced English speaking guides that were professional, knowledgeable, and helpful even beyond the call of duty. I tripped and scraped my arm when about to tour the Great Wall. Instead of just letting me wash it off and go, our guide took me to a desk where they had a first aid kit. He put disinfectant and lots of bandaids on it himself (about an 8 inch wound) before proceeding with our tour. I was so grateful. Each driver was safe and had a clean car. They all helped us get to our train/plane as opposed to just dropping us off at the station where we cannot read the signs. When we arrived at the next destination, our next guide was waiting right at the exit to take us on the next leg of our journey. Everything was simple, friendly, and wonderful. They answered all kinds of questions about what we were seeing and their culture so that we had an enjoyable and informative vacation. I would highly recommend Wendy Lee.
