China Tour Reviews

I had a fantastic experience during my trip to China, and Amy’s support made a huge difference throughout the journey.
From the very beginning, she was extremely helpful, attentive and professional. Whenever I had a question, needed some advice or required help with an arrangement, she always replied very quickly and did her best to help. Travelling to China for the first time can sometimes be challenging, especially with the language and all the logistics involved, so knowing that I could contact Amy whenever I needed assistance gave me great peace of mind.
The trip itself was excellent. Everything was very well organised, the tours were very enjoyable, and the guides were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I had the opportunity to discover very different sides of China, from its history and culture to its impressive modern cities, and it was an unforgettable experience.
What I particularly appreciated was Amy’s availability throughout the trip. Her support did not end once everything had been booked — she continued to answer my questions, help with arrangements and give useful advice whenever I needed it. She was always quick to respond and genuinely interested in making sure everything was going well.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the experience and with the support I received. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone planning a trip to China, and I would have no hesitation in contacting her again when I return.
Thank you so much, Amy, for all your help, patience and support in making my first trip to China such a memorable one!

Thank you very much for the spectacular and imperial birthday celebration. I was as surprised as my husband. Many other group members thought it was spectacular as well.
Overall, I like entertaining shows. So my favourites were the acrobatic show in Beijing and yesterday's Tang Dynasty's folklore tale. As for the sights, I have lived in China before more than 20 years ago, for 3 years, and had travelled quite extensively to various parts of China previously. This is however the first time for my husband. We are glad that his birthday coincides with the visit.
Additionally, your guides so far have been very good. Kitty was very personable and connected well with everyone in the group. She made everyone feel at ease with her happy and bubbly personality. Lily is a very knowledgeable guide who showed her intent and seriousness whenever she explained the history of the places we visited. She is obviously very proud to be a guide and to share what she knows.
Next year, we hope to travel as a family of 6 adults to Tibet, Chengdu, Jhuzaigo and Yunnan on a private tour. At least that's the plan for now. I will get in touch with you again!

Thank you for organizing an exceptional tour experience. We have enjoyed the experience immensely.
Our tour guides have been good.
In Beijing, Lyra's historical knowledge, supported by the symbolism, culture, the architecture and the anecdotes of the times made for a very informative and inspiring visit. I will also comment on trip advisor.
In Chongqing, Youmi's enthusiast and bubbling character matched the vibey city appeal. She made sure we experienced the best of what there was to offer in a fun and interesting manner. I will also comment on trip advisor.
Michael was exceptional and I wrote about him on trip advisor ... he was tentatively to everyone's needs. As a local he knows the history and culture of the area. He also shared some traditional medicine anecdotes when he saw a tree or flower and shared what teas would help us too. He bought local treats for us to try and also sorted out gluten free food at our lunches for Roberto. He took the time to take us to the drone show too. He is fun and energetic and made the visit exceptional.
Sean has shared his passion for Shanghai, it's history and its culture. He has also been helpful in helping us sort out part of our free day.
Thank you for making the trip slick and hassle free as well as balancing modern with historical, and city with nature.

Our last holiday was another TravelChinaGuide success. Everything went like clockwork, drivers, guides, pickups etc all wonderful. I believe it is nearly 15 years since we had our first holiday with TravelChinaGuide, and we keep coming back because you are great at your job, you are able to chat to us about our travel aspirations and arrange tours which mean we out achieve our goals. The tours are always brilliantly executed and nothing is too much trouble for the drivers and guides.
Our recent holiday was great, the guides and drivers in all locations were excellent, the cars were all wonderful, the guides spoke great English and were very knowledgeable. We throughly enjoyed our holiday and cannot wait until December when we have our next trip, which I expect will be another Nicole success.
Thank you Nicole, for being so patient with me and for creating great experiences for us.

Thank you for reaching out. We had an excellent experience on our China tour and would be happy to share our feedback.
Overall, the tour was very well organized, and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The sightseeing arrangements were excellent, allowing us to experience many of China's incredible cultural and natural attractions. The hotel accommodations throughout the tour were also very good and contributed positively to our overall experience.
We would especially like to commend our guides in Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai. They were knowledgeable, engaging, professional, and provided valuable insights into the history, culture, and sites we visited. Their enthusiasm and expertise greatly enhanced our travel experience.
Lastly, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your outstanding service. You were truly spectacular throughout the entire process. From the initial booking stage to the period leading up to the trip and even while we were traveling, you were always prompt in responding to our questions and incredibly helpful. Meeting you in Xi'an was also a wonderful experience, as it was nice to finally put a face to the person we had been corresponding with by email for so long. Your professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication played a significant role in making this trip a success.
Thank you again for all your support and for helping us create such wonderful memories. We would be happy to recommend TravelChinaGuide Tours to others and look forward to traveling with your company again in the future.

Overall, we are really happy with the tour and the travel agency.

The guides have been amazing, everyone has been always on time, shared their knowledge about the place and the drivers were also nice and drived safely. One word in particular should be spent for Tserina/Selina (the guide in Tibet), who went above and beyond in guiding us through the journey to Mt. Everest.

The sightseeing arrangements were all perfect, we visited a lot of attractions and museums in a short period of time and the perfect organization led us through all this very smoothly.

The hotels were really good, clean and in strategic places and especially in Tibet I think we received an upgraded treatment.

Your assistance has been amazing and consistent, especially in supporting us to prepare for the altitude and the journey to EBC before the start of the tour. When we had the issue of the room in Beijing you contacted us late in the afternoon and took care of everything, so we are really pleased.

We are already talking with our friends about our tour and will happily recommend you as travel agency and travel consultant.

We'll for sure visit again China and for this we will contact you again.

Now that I am back, it is the perfect time to reflect on our wonderful trip to China—a journey that has been a dream for most of us for the last two years. I would like to highly commend the tour guides' and drivers' services. Everyone was exceptionally professional, polite, and always waiting for us punctually at the airport or train station at every stop. The drivers thoughtfully provided water whenever we returned from a city tour, and the guides gave excellent, detailed explanations of the history of each city we visited. I would especially like to thank Ms. Annie, our guide in Zhangjiajie. She was incredibly kind. Despite our very late arrival at the airport when most restaurants were closed, she managed to arrange food for us. She was remarkably thoughtful and always had a smile on her face. Ms. Catherine was also wonderful. She was passionate about Beijing's history and showed great patience while guiding us through the Forbidden City. Additionally, I must mention Maggie, who accompanied us to the Terracotta Army. She was highly professional and efficient, ensuring we saw everything we wanted. Regarding the accommodations, I thoroughly enjoyed the hotels in Xi'an and Zhangjiajie. Even though they were 4-star hotels, they provided everything we needed and were in excellent locations. My only critique would be regarding the Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World. For a 5-star hotel, I felt it did not offer good value for money; the furniture was quite dated and the bathroom was very small. While the location was great, we only stayed for three nights and usually returned too late from our tours to fully explore the surrounding area. I would also like to highlight your assistance, Emily, throughout the booking and tour planning process. You helped us immensely by including all the places we wanted to visit, and you arranged the best possible itinerary so we could enjoy the sightseeing and landscapes while saving valuable time.

We look back on our tour with wonderful memories. The entire journey was exceptionally well organized, and everything ran smoothly from the initial planning stages through the completion of our tour. We would especially like to thank the tour guides we had the opportunity to meet during our journey. Each of them was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience enjoyable and memorable. Helen played a key role in helping us get comfortable in China at the beginning of our journey in Shanghai. Thanks to her practical advice, valuable tips, and outstanding support, we quickly gained confidence navigating a country that was completely new to us. Her professionalism, patience, and expertise were truly impressive. In Changsha, Ricky's strong connection to the local culture and community was evident throughout our time with him. His extensive knowledge and engaging explanations gave us fascinating insights into the city, its history, and daily life. Combined with his warm and friendly personality, he made our visit both enjoyable and enriching. The greatest highlight of our trip was Rosy. She is truly an exceptional person and guide who made a lasting impression on our entire family. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience, always showing genuine care, enthusiasm, and dedication. Her thoughtful recommendations, attention to detail, and the time she generously devoted to us made every day special. We will always remember her fondly and treasure the wonderful memories we created together. The sightseeing program was diverse, well balanced, and thoughtfully organized. We especially appreciated the pacing, which allowed us to fully enjoy each destination without ever feeling rushed. We were also very pleased with the hotels selected for us. They were comfortable, clean, and generally in excellent locations, making it easy to explore each destination. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation for your support throughout the booking and planning process. Your professionalism, responsiveness, and clear communication gave us confidence from the very beginning and contributed greatly to a stress-free and enjoyable travel experience. We always felt that we were in excellent hands. Overall, this trip was a wonderful and unforgettable experience for our family. We sincerely thank you for the outstanding organization and exceptional service.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip from start to finish. Everything was exceptionally well organized, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The tour guides were outstanding. They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always eager to help. The sightseeing was perfectly planned, allowing us to see so many amazing places while still having enough time to enjoy each destination. The hotels were excellent, comfortable, clean, and in great locations. We would also like to thank you personally for your outstanding assistance throughout the booking process and during the tour. Your communication, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all of our questions made everything easy and stress-free. We truly appreciated your support every step of the way. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations, and we have nothing but positive things to say. Thank you for helping make this such a memorable and enjoyable vacation. We will gladly recommend your services to our family and friends. Thank you again for everything!

I’ve now found the time to write a proper, more detailed reply. The main point is that I was very satisfied with Travel China and can only recommend that everyone uses TCG. The details: Booking. The website is clearly laid out; I found it helpful and well-designed. I also really liked the fact that, once I’d finished, I could access all my bookings in one place with a single login. There is room for improvement, though – I had to search for a while to find the option to book tickets for the show and the zoo, and I’m sure there were other things I didn’t spot (in other cities). The support you provided was excellent. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to go on the trip to Datong, as we weren’t staying at a hotel there. You sorted it out brilliantly by combining it with the train tickets. It was also great that the zoo tickets could be rebooked without any hassle when the zoo was closed due to bad weather. I wasn’t so keen on the fact that the excursions in Beijing were organised by someone else; I would have preferred to have you as the point of contact for everything. We were very satisfied with the four excursions. We saw a lot; it was superbly organised – there’s nothing that could have been done better. The first three tour guides – Roger, Lilly and Helen – were very good; Jessica was all right, though the sound quality was very poor. In the end, I was annoyed that I hadn’t booked the hotels through TCG as well. Unfortunately, a friend who lives in Shanghai only told me about TCG far too late, when I’d asked him how to book train tickets. By then, the hotels had already been booked. And that’s my final suggestion. TCG should be more visible in European search engines. I’ve just checked again, and TCG doesn’t even appear as an option. It’s a shame for everyone who misses out on you, and for you too. We were very impressed by China and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Thank you very much for your significant contribution to that.
