    Amazing full day tour with Helen
    Had the best full day tour today with our guide - Helen. We started at Tiannen Square, then onto Forbidden City, followed by a visit to the Jade factory, buffet lunch, then on to the Great Wall of China. We concluded our day with a Tea Ceremony before driving back to Beijing. Everything about this tour was amazing!

    Exceptional guide Celine
    Went on the full day tour. Had an exceptional guide Celine who was fluent with English and managed to keep us entertained with her knowledge on the history of Xi’an and the discovery of the Terracotta Army. Fortunately for us, the tour happened on the day after the Labor Day holidays so it wasn’t too crowded.

    Brilliant in every way
    I booked an 11 day tour for my family of 10. Amy dealt with all aspects of the booking and was excellent. I had numerous queries being a group of 10 with mixed nationalities, replies were always prompt and accurate, the tour itself was over 11 days visiting 4 cities with arrival in Shanghai, transfer to Beijing then 3 other city visits. I honestly couldn’t have expected better and would recommend this as it was brilliant

    Awesome tour guide and a great tour
    Lily was a great tour guide, she explained everything clearly and answered the questions that were asked. The tour and the route itself were also very logical. The admission is included in the price, so dealing with the tickets yourself was not necessary. Got picked up from the hotel at 7:10 and finished the tour at around 5:30 pm. Overall, loved it!

    China rail ticket booking so easy with TravelChinaGuide !
    I travelled to China in October 2025 and planned a self-guided circular tour by train visiting Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chonqqing, Xian, Beijing and returning to Shanghai. As the official National Chinese Railways website only opens bookings 15 days before travel, I needed to ensure that my plans ran smoothly, so booked with this company because of the highly positive feedback. I can now add to this, and can say that all my rail travel went exactly according to plan. Obviously, because the company is ... Full Text

I can now add to this, and can say that all my rail travel went exactly according to plan. Obviously, because the company is based in China, there is an 8 hour time difference, but replies to any queries always came within 24 hours. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.

    Separately, I will be leaving feedback about my Xian guided tour where my guide, Carol, was extremely knowledgeable , organised and friendly. Collapse

    Easy Peasy Travel
    It’s so easy and a no nonsense booking you’ll think you’re getting tricked… but they come through! Painlessly booked a ticket and had a great time in China with these guys; great way to access the rail networks and guarantee your trip timing without having to wait in line or miss something because it fills up fast. The guide and advice for travel from the site was spot on, too, and email communication was great.

    Zai jian!

    Travel China Guide successfully booked…
    Travel China Guide successfully booked us tickets for a party of 3 during goldenweek for the following: Temple of heaven, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. With all but the exception of Tiananmen square we got the original dates and times requested. For Tiananmen Square, they kindly worked with me to find an alternative date and time that worked for us due to the high ticket demand. They were a pleasure to deal with and very responsive via WhatsApp.

    2 for 1 Warriors of China tour review
    e took the '2 for 1 Warriors of China' tour leaving May16 2024 back to Sydney May27 2024.

    The tour guide in Beijing - Robin and the tour guide in Xuzhou / Hangzhou/ Shanghai - Celery, both did an excellent job. Well done.

    Trip overall was good, except the Shaolin temple visit was not worth going for me and the tour guide there needs more training I felt.

    Trip overall was good, except the Shaolin temple visit was not worth going for me and the tour guide there needs more training I felt.

    The gratitude cost should be clearer, it is actually compulsory because it is also for the driver and the team behind the scene purchasing various tickets and making sure the tour goes smoothly.

    You will need to have cash, not many places accept card. May be use Wise or master card to draw cash.

    Try to travel with smaller luggages because the train rides in and out with big luggages can be hard. You can place the Small bags on the overhead compartment.

    Bring roll on deodorant, one of the train ride security confiscated spray deodorants and opened alcohol.

    If you are travelling southern China, sign up with SkyPearl to pre-book seat on line.

    All up 7.5/10.

    Exceptional Tour Company
    We used Travel China Guide for a customised 15 day private tour of China for 4 people, and had the most amazing time.
    This company is exceptional - I was nervous about using a foreign travel company, but once I started corresponding with Emily, everything quickly fell into place - despite me sending about 20 emails over the course of 4-5 months to tweak different parts of our tours. Emily was so organised, the day tours and travel arrangements all worked without a hitch. They will also send you ... Full Text

    Great 14 day China trip including Tibet with TCG
    I can highly recommend TCG. The trip was exactly as advertised and certainly met or expectations. I booked the trip online and our consultant Wendy was very helpful. All of our guides were very knowledgeable and spoke English well. The cost was reasonable and we did not encounter any unexpected fees.

    Perfect tour to see the best of China
    They were amazing, a truly memorable trip all went to plan with no additional costs. My 8 day China trip was very organised with no problems, we were kept busy sight seeing every day, we stayed in the best hotels, ate the best Chinese food our guide Candy was amazing and very helpful and went beyond her job. Thoroughly recommend Travel China for all your travel. Would love to do another tour with them.

We had an amazing trip, starting in Hong Kong and finishing in Beijing. The pickups and drop offs from hotels to airports and train stations all happened without a glitch and all of our guides and drivers were knowledgeable and courteous. Ryan, Chas, Bella and Lola were all amazing and all went the extra mile to make a trip memorable. Nicole our travel consultant worked alongside me to get the trip organised and all of the itinerary worked perfectly as we travelled across China. I would recommend using Travelchinaguide.com to anyone planning a trip to China, this is our second tour that has been organised by them and it was good value, well organised and great communication throughout the booking process and the trip. Thank you all for making our trip so great, we will be going back to China in the future and will be using your services again.

It was an amazing experience! Everything was wonderful! The hotels were all very nice, the guides were all very knowledgeable, and all the logistics went smoothly. We particularly appreciated the guides in Jaipur (Ganesh) and Agra (Ali), who were very informative about all the history of the places we visited and knew the best places to take photos. Our driver in the north, Anand Sharma, took very good care of us and was an excellent driver. The restaurants we went to were all excellent!

The hotel in Goa turned out to be perfect! There were actually a number of restaurants right off the property that didn't show up on Google maps, and we really enjoyed our free day there. We were also glad we added a day in Mumbai. It gave us more time to explore the city.

Thank you again! We would certainly use Agate Travel again!

It was my first time in China and what a great experience!
Communication was very good overall but especially before the tour, Nicole responded to all my queries and relayed all the relevant information clearly in a timely manner.
The guides and drivers were all very professional, especially Candy in Beijing with a very pleasant way of explaining history.
The hotels were also very good especially in Beijing & Xi'an, minor issues in Shanghai but resolved very quickly.
Overall a well organised small group tour and I am happy with the services provided.

From planning stage to tour finish everything was fantastic. We arranged the tour with Wendy, she was alway prompt in replying and went out of her way to make any minor changes we wanted. From meeting the rep on arrival at the Airport in Beijing to the final day of tour everything went flawlessly, the tour guides in Beijing, X'ian were excellent and made sure everyone was made to feel welcome, they had a great knowledge of their cities and passed on some of the history/background which made the sight more meaningful. Everything went like clockwork. They appear to be a very well recognised company as on many occasions the guides spoke to staff at the different places and got our group through the entrances far quicker than just lining up with everyone else, they managed to get the railway staff to collect our bags from the tour bus and place them on the train in our carriage for us which saved a lot of effort and just showed how they tried to go the extra mile to please their customers.

The tour it self was fantastic and packed in so many major sights in just 8 days, the only thing I would say is be prepared to walk a lot.. most days were around 15,000 steps and at some locations many were up hill/steps, I'm 70 not extremely fit but managed as walking tended to be spread out over the different locations in the day. There is no way we could have seen so much if we were on our own (we would have only covered a small portion of what we saw if we did not do the tour).

Days were fully packed, starting 7-8am and normally finished around 5-6pm, they also included breakfast everyday and some lunches and dinners which allowed us to experience some real local dishes with the assistance of the guides.

We will be back to China as we only saw a small portion, and we will definately use Travel China Guide again and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to China.

Our 11 day tour to Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai was absolutely amazing. We had a very good communication with Miss Wendi Li prior to our trip. She cleared every question possible with accuracy and understanding.
The hotels were all superb. We can’t thank enough our tour guides for their effortless guidance, explanation of the visiting sites and their professionalism.
Without hesitation I recommend Travel China Guide tours to anyone who wishes to visit beautiful China.

Travel China Guide organized our individual 16-day trip to China on the route Beijing - Shanghai - Luoyang - Shaolin - Xi'an - Chongqing - Zhangjiajie - Guilin - Yangshuo - Hong Kong. We were 4 women and relied entirely on Emily Xin's professional experience to draw up the itinerary, purchase train tickets between the cities, tours and book hotels. Emily was always available and answered all our questions extremely quickly and accurately, gave very accurate instructions and information. Special thanks to Emily, as she made our trip a reality and a dream come true. Thank you Emily! The hotels were wonderful (4 stars) with nice breakfasts, suitable for Europeans; the cars were new, comfortable and clean, water was provided, and the drivers were smiling and polite. I would like to specially thank to all ours guides - Selina, Bonnie, Kelly, Tracy, Yolin and Kim, who were with us and made our stay in China charming. They are incredible professionals and we congratulate them warmly and heartily! Once again, thank you for the excellent organization of our trip and I will highly recommend your company to all our relatives and friends! We will definitely return to China someday, as there is still so much to see and we will definitely trust your company and Emily again! Many many thanks!

I had an absolutely wonderful trip in Beijing, Xian and Shanghai.My experience as a solo traveller was made truly memorable. I have met kind and caring people from different countries. The 3 hotels where I stayed was amazing with nice food and good environment. The hotel staff are polite and accomodating. I can honestly say, almost everynight I am dreaming, I am still in China. Wendy Lee, my Tour Consultant is exceptionally good.Even the other members in the group says, if ever they will go back in China they will contact Wendy. Highly recommended. A big thank you to Wendy and to other tour guides (Linda, Carol and William) you all made my short trip in China an experience I will cherish.

Very well arranged tour,a good pace which is what we enjoyed,the use of public transport gave us an idea of how the locals get about,we appreciated the extra nights before & after the tour organised as part of,which gave us the chance to revisit some sites again & visit new ones that held interest. The tour was a good mix of old & new,well worth the experience..........

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thanks Wendy for arranging such a wonderful trip to China. Both Guido and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. In hindsight, we might have made a few minor adjustments to the itinerary and allowed for a bit more rest time. However, as a first-time visit to China, the program was excellent and offered a great balance of experiences—from the historical highlights of Beijing and Xi’an, to the stunning natural beauty of Guilin, Zhangjiajie, and the panda base in Chengdu, and finally the vibrant cosmopolitan life of Shanghai. We were especially impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the local guides and drivers. We would highly recommend Travel China Guide, and you personally, to anyone considering a trip to China. Thank you once again for your support and for making this journey so memorable. We very much look forward to visiting China again in the near future.
