    A wonderful trip to Turkey and Greece
    My husband and I had a wonderful time in Turkey and Greece! Emily was wonderful planning the trip and adjusting things to make it just like we wanted it. We had private tour guides and drivers the entire trip and every one of the guides and drivers were amazing! The meals and accommodations were great! We especially loved Cappadocia - the magical balloon ride, the other-wordly geological shapes and historical dwellings within them! It was spectacular! We highly recommend this agency and thank them ... Full Text

    An Excellent adventure in Argentina
    My wife and I are independent travelers who like the freedom to plan/design our trips. But after we looked through the details regard Argentina and especially Patagonia region, we realized it can be a nightmare to arrange all these by ourselves. Luckly, we found Agate Travel. Emily (our travel consultant) took the time to understand our interests and preferences, came out a detail itinerary to fit our needs. She also communicates with us and provides updates, address our needs thought out the trip.

    Informative, well-paced tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
    We had a great experience with Roger as our tour guide. He knows history really well and shared lots of interesting facts along the way. The tour pacing was very comfortable and well timed, never felt rushed. He was also patient and answered all our questions. Really enjoyable tour overall!

    Best time in Xi’an with Carol!
    I had an absolutely amazing experience with my tour guide in Xi’an, Carol Chen. She was incredibly knowledgeable and taught me so much about the history, culture, and local traditions throughout the tour. Every explanation was interesting and detailed, and you could really feel her passion for what she does.

    Spending time with Carol was one of the highlights of my trip to China, and I’m so grateful for everything she did. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and I would highly recommend Carol Chen to anyone visiting Xi’an. Collapse

    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! Our bus driver was fantastic and vehicle was well equipped with air con and USB charging units, plus complimentary water. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking this tour, as it is only small ... Full Text

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Our trip to China was the most interesting vacation we have had. The sights were very interesting and the guides were kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Everything was very well organized. It is very important to continue to organize trips and tours to various sights around holidays. Thank you for a vacation of a lifetime. Your country is beautiful. All the information we received ahead of time was very valuable.

"concerning me, everything was perfect... the discovery of a country where everything is excessive. The program was very varied, it allowed us to see magnificent sites. maybe too many temples, but as each one is different, it went very well. Finally, a big thank you to our guides, Candy, Benny, Grace, Lola, I don't remember the first name of our guide from Chengdu, Yolin and Jacky, they were all perfect, educational, and patient. Thanks again to them and if some want to come to France, my house is 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris and they will be welcome. well done TCG!!!"

"my China adventure is still fresh on my mind and brings me much pleasure, which is good, because my leg keeps me pretty much confined to my home and I should expect another month or two before I'm fully recovered. I can safely say the trip exceeded my expectations, and the excellent organization from your agency was certainly one major contribution to that. The guides were across the board very knowledgeable and forthcoming. It was interesting to see that when we followed the guide's advice on meals, also when they were not part of the trip, the quality and price/performance of the food was a level higher than when I was left to making my own choices. The program was well composed, I especially appreciated that there were also events included that were not related to the major sights, like the teahouse in Chengdu, and the visit to the park in Xi'an. If I had designed the trip for myself, I might have left a little more unscheduled time; especially in Beijing the program was quite heavy with very long days. The hotels were all of them excellent standard. Chengdu was for me, as I gathered also for my companions, the highlight of the trip, and one reason was here that the location of the hotel allowed us to sample the city on foot in our leisure time, as opposed to Beijing, where the location was more secluded. Should I offer you one area of improvement, I suffered a potential glitsch on my arrival at Daxing, because the airport has two exits and your guide waited at the one I didn't pick. I eventually found out and in the end had no problems, but for future reference you may want to sharpen your guiding on this point. As for your services, I'm truly impressed, and I can honestly say the responses I got from you during the booking process, primarily the timeliness, but also the clear way they were structured, was a major factor in me eventually choosing your services. And, as I've already said, I'm deeply grateful for your generous and attentive help when I had had my accident. All in all, this was one of my more memorable vacation trips, and when I return to China, which I do hope I will in some future, I will certainly look for the services of TravelChinaGuide. Best regards and many thanks from Sweden."

"Hi Emily Everything is going well. Just a bit warm for us. Glad the van provides 2 water bottles per day. We will be leaving Chengdu today to Chongqing. The local guides are very nice and helpful. Having the Beijing local guide, Jasmine, help us with our first train ride. She walked and explained to us how to board a train. She was able to walk us into the train itself. Then Xi'an local guide, Carol, took us into the waiting room and told us which gate to board. We should be comfortable now to get on a train ourselves now. Thanks to them. So far, we have been enjoying our trip. Caroline"

Hi Amy Jian, Just flying home, and wanted to let you know we enjoyed our 25 day trip with TravelChinaGuide. We enjoyed working with you and would highly recommend you and your agency. The arrangements went smoothly, the drivers and guides were good. All the guides understood English very well to listen. A few had strong accents when speaking however. All were very considerate and paid attention to our safety.

"As this was our first experience with an overseas travel agent, we initially felt uncertain about our choice. However, our advisor, Amy Jian, quickly alleviated any concerns. Her efficiency, helpfulness, and thoroughness throughout the entire booking process were truly commendable. Amy addressed all our numerous queries swiftly and honestly, which greatly enhanced our confidence in the arrangements. Furthermore, her proactive communication, keeping us updated on any changes or developments both before and during our trip, was hugely reassuring. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in China. Given the exceptional service provided, we are more than happy to recommend Amy Jian. Beijing was our first destination, and our guide, Sammi, truly made it unforgettable. Her intelligence and caring nature were evident throughout our time together. With her excellent command of English, she explained various aspects of the city with clarity and insight. Her engaging personality, complemented by a wonderful sense of humor, enriched our experience and brought immense joy to our first leg of the holiday. I highly recommend Sammi to all tourists visiting Beijing. In Xi’an, we were fortunate to have Irene as our guide. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her vast knowledge of the Terracotta Army and the city’s history was remarkable. It was particularly impressive how she went above and beyond, spending extra hours to assist us despite the late arrival at our hotel. Irene’s dedication to ensuring we had a seamless experience did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for her support. Thank you for providing such incredible guides. "

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.

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.

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.
