Feb 10, 2026A Thousand Years in a Day: A Journey Through Beijing's Imperial Heart and the Great WallThis full-day tour is a marathon of Chinese history, but absolutely worth the effort. The sheer scale of Tiananmen Square is humbling, and walking through the Forbidden City feels like stepping into a living museum. The intricate details of the architecture are breathtaking.
The highlight, of course, is the Great Wall. Climbing its steep steps is a physical challenge, but the panoramic views from the top are simply unforgettable.

Feb 8, 2026Amazing trip to IndiaWe traveled to India for 15 days on a customized private tour, and it was amazing! We visited Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Kochi, Goa and Mumbai, and we enjoyed the tour so much. The hotels were all excellent with great breakfast buffets, the local guides and drivers were very knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was amazing everywhere we taken for lunch. We were very well taken care of the entire trip. Thank you to Emily for putting together the perfect trip for us! -

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 -

Oct 26, 2025Easy Peasy TravelIt’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.

Oct 22, 2025Travel 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.

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.

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!

Excellent Tour and Vacation. Have been delayed in responding as it has been very busy and a bit stressful since we have returned. But the tour was so good that we eventually knew that we would find the time to respond. Our trip was unusual as I ended up taking a big fall in Thimphu on the first day in Bhutan. Our guide and driver were the best you could possibly have under the circumstances. I was brought to the emergency room of the largest hospital in Bhutan and was given such excellent care that our trip continued the next day as planned. HB tours is an excellent tour company and our guide Ram and our driver Poob were the absolute best. We did not know how to properly thank them so we took your recommended gratuity and doubled it. Because of my fall, they recommended that I not attempt Tigers Nest (but my wife did go). They arranged for me to rent a helicopter (one of only two in Bhutan available at the time) and we saw Tigers Nest up close from the air. in short, this was the second outstanding tour from Travel China Guide Tours and you definitely be used again on our planned revisit to China as well as other destinations in Asia. Thank you again for arranging such a memorable tour.

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.

For Europeans in general and for Spaniards in particular China is a most fascinating country. There is so much to visit and to know! This was, of course, a limited tour, but it included the capital, Beijing, and three important cities: Xi'an, Guilin and Tianjin. In all of them there are important historical and touristic sites to visit. I am sure there other cities in China which are also important, Shanghai among others, but the four cities we visited this time are second to none. In Guilin, the Lee River Tour is a must. In Xi'an, the terracota warriers' Museum. And Tianjin has aldo important things to see. We were very pleased with the vicit to the TV Tower, which gives an impressive perspective. The British quartier and its Stadium are also very worthwhile to see. In Beijing the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall are unavoidable. We were very pleased with the support that the China Travel Agency provided. It was effective, efficient and at reasonable prices. An agency like that is essential for independent travellers, as we were.

I have booked through TravelChinaGuide for the second time, and once again it has been an excellent experience. Everything works perfectly and smoothly. The best part is the full support and the fast communication. You always receive quick responses, and all questions are answered promptly. The service is simply outstanding.
The tours are very well planned, all guides speak good English, and they are always very friendly and interesting. The drivers are also excellent and drive very safely.
The hotel arrangements have all been great so far.
I will continue to book through this platform whenever I travel to China and will definitely recommend it to others.
Thank you for the great experience and the excellent service.

Our trip to China was absolutely amazing! This is the second time we’ve used this agency, and everything was perfect—just as it was on our first trip. The local guides were exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, fluent in English, and always in tune with exactly what we wanted to see and do. The hotels were very comfortable and centrally located, making each day’s logistics smooth and efficient.
All of our transportation—whether by van or plane—was extremely well organized, and we never encountered a single issue. The food was delicious everywhere we went, and the country itself is truly stunning, from its landscapes to its culture and history.
We are especially grateful to Emily for the wonderful support she provided throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and care made our trip even more memorable.
We had such a fantastic experience, and we genuinely can’t wait to come back and explore even more!

Had a fantastic trip thanks to our travel consultant Emily Xin and the knowledge of the tour guides (special shoutout to Angela in Beijing, Celine in Xi’an, Michelle in Zhangjiajie)! We appreciated Emily’s speedy response and her suggestions and flexibility to finalize our private tour itinerary. The service provided by our tour was impeccable which included the pickup from each city, the professional tour guides, and the drop off at each of the cities whereby the person made sure we were checked in for our transportation to the next city and that we had all the needed information for boarding. The tour guides made this trip much more memorable with their knowledge of the visited site, advised us where to go for the best view, and shared their strategies to try to avoid the bigger crowds. We appreciated that the tour guide was able to make arrangements to accommodate a very last minute activity change due to better weather conditions. Many thanks to Emily, the tour guides, and the drivers for a memorable, worry-free, and enjoyable stay in 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 were really fortunate to have Emily Xin serving as our travel consultant in the planning of our 7-day private Chengdu-Chongqing tour completed recently. As per our wishes, she arranged all things for our group of 7 adults without a hitch, including must-visit destinations, admission tickets, hotels, suitable tour guides, bullet train tickets, etc. Her strong diligence, responsiveness, knowledge, advice, and ability to serve cheerfully directly contributed to our successful tour planning. Her flawless arrangements with the local tour guides, who were knowledgeable and helpful throughout, enhanced the quality of our tour experience. Emily is no doubt a great asset to Travelchinaguide.com. Thank you very much Emily for all your help and hard work! I also appreciated your personally assisting me each step of the way, from start to finish.
