Our guide, Mia and driver Julian, for the Morondava portion and to/from the Tsingy were wonderful. The drive to get to the Tsingy was even worse that other reviews or other information platforms had indicated--the road is truly horrible and it takes 10 hours, but was well worth it.

The booking agent with Agate Travel was friendly, helpful and always quick to respond to any questions. Our guide, Mia and driver Julian, for the Morondava portion and to/from the Tsingy were wonderful. The drive to get to the Tsingy was even worse that other reviews or other information platforms had indicated--the road is truly horrible and it takes 10 hours, but was well worth it. We spontaneously attended a village party and were readily accepted. We quickly bonded with Mia and Julien, and felt like old friends when we were transferred to the airport. Our guide, Valentin, in Tana and the area around Andraside was also wonderful and went out of his way to help my son find vinyl music. We were invited to a village celebration for a young child's circumcision and felt very honored to attend. All in all, it was an incredible trip. It was my first time using Agate Travel and it won't be my last. Collapse

She was very good humoured with a great personality. She had in-depth knowledge of the sights and continuously monitored that our group was following and ok. The places she suggested on both days for food had a wide variety of tasty dishes. Her energy, enthusiasm and joy made our two days in Beijing very special.

- Susan BJul 21, 2025Interesting temple and tea villageLingyin temple and tea village were very interesting. Visited a tea farmer’s house to learn all about growing and preparing tea, which was also interesting. West Lake is pretty, but not a must do. Did not go to the Six Harmonies Pagoda even though description says it is part of the tour. Our guide Susan was really nice, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She was not aware that we were supposed to go to the pagoda.
- Joanna SJul 21, 2025Jun 2025I rarely write reviews but this tour led by our exceptional guide Helen deserves to be given 5 Stars. Firstly Tiananmen Square, then the Forbidden City, followed by a trip out to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Helen was enthusiatic, energetic and most considerate. The pace of the tour is fast as there is so much to see in one day. I loved every minute and it was the highlight of my time in Beijing. Helen was most informative about the places we visited and the history.

From the moment I landed in Beijing to leaving from Shanghai, everything was meticulously planned and ran like clockwork. It was a brilliant and fascinating couple of weeks, the guides spoke perfect English and were very informative, and the organization from Wendy Lee from start to finish was perfect.

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.

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.

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.

The tour was well organized and Wendy was able to make some changes based on my preferences. She always replied to me promptly and when I was in China she was able to answer my questions quickly. Payment was easy. The tour guides in every city were all excellent as well as the drivers. One of the trips with train involved hard sleeper train which I didn’t enjoy as soft sleeper train was not available. Otherwise we had a blast

From the arrangement of the tour with Emily to the guides who were allocated to us, everything was seamless and the agency is exteremely accomodating to our needs as we have elderly and young kids with us in the group. At the same time, the guides were knowledgable and gave us many insights and knowledge of the history of each location/ sight-seeing location that we went. Our trip was a 9-day Xi'An, Luoyang & Beijing tour. We were glad that we got to see many amazing places and learnt so much about them. I would personally recommend contacting Travel China Guide for your local tour needs. We had Carol as the guide in Xi'An, Cissy in Luoyang and David in Beijing. All in their own respective city had extensive knowledge about the history and places that we went.

We have returned from a fantastic tour of Japan. The tour was planned second to none with attention to detail and quality throughout. The 3 day add on at the end caused by cancelled flight was busy and we could easily have spent an extra day in Hiroshima hiking in Miyajima Island also gave you less time to book hotels.To summarize another fantastic tour arranged to perfection.
Difficult to compare our Chinese and the Japanese tours, nevertheless we find thet China comes first.
To future tours wherever in the world you suggest. I believe there are great many options in China but we are open to any suggestions ..

Outstanding Experience with Wendy Lee from Travel China Guide Tours!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy Lee from Travel China Guide Tours, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, Wendy was incredibly patient, responsive, and attentive to every detail of my trip. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and tailored the itinerary perfectly to my preferences.
Throughout the planning process and even during the trip itself, Wendy was always available and ready to assist with any questions or needs. Thanks to her meticulous coordination, everything went smoothly—from train and flight schedules to hotel arrangements and local guides. We visited several amazing destinations across China, and every step of the journey was seamless.
All the local guides arranged by Wendy were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, which made the experience even more enriching. I felt completely supported and cared for throughout the trip.
If you're planning a trip to China, I wholeheartedly recommend Travel China Guide Tours—and be sure to ask for Wendy Lee. Her dedication, professionalism, and warm personality made this an unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Wendy, for your hard work and for making my trip so special. You are truly amazing!

We have been back a couple of weeks (spent some time in Japan after we left China), but just wanted to thank you for all your assistance on setting up most of our time in Xi'an and Beijing. (We were in Shanghai for three days prior as well.) Everything went as planned, the guides were fantastic, and I really appreciated all the correspondence and flexibility as our plans changed. We had the most amazing time! I will not hesitate to recommend you to others who are interested in visiting China.
Thanks for making our time there unforgettable!!

I'd like to give you our opinion on the guides and drivers who accompanied us last May on our trip to China. All the guides were excellent, but some were exceptional. Both Scarlett in Dali and Clair in Chengdu are of a very high standard. Both are proactive, cheerful, communicative, and speak very good English. Please give them both our congratulations, as they were exceptional. Among the drivers, one also clearly stood out: Jack Lee in Kunming. He was polite, helpful, proactive, and spoke excellent English. Jack could easily serve as both driver and guide, as he combines both qualities. I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the organization of the trip. Thanks to you, China remains, for us, the most interesting country we've ever visited (and we've visited many countries).

A huge thank you to you Emily for organizing such a perfectly coordinated and memorable trip to China! From start to finish, everything ran like clockwork - flights, trains, transfers, hotels and most importantly, the guided tours in every city we visited.
We truly loved every moment and were especially impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly guides who brought each destination to life. This trip opened our eyes to how incredible China is as a tourist destination-rich in culture, history, modern marvels, and warm hospitality. We've not stopped talking about it since!
My sincere apologies for this late report- it's only because we've continued travelling to other parts of the world. But without a doubt, China remains one of our favorite highlights, all thanks to your fantastic planning and care, Emily.
Highly recommended for anyone considering a journey to China!
Best regards

Our guide Maggie got in touch the day before and we were able to plan the tour together. Maggie and the bus arrived at the hotel on time and she provided us with in-depth information during the journey.
In addition to the places Maggie showed and explained, we had time to explore everywhere on our own. She was also happy to fulfil our wishes. All in all, I would describe the tour as very successful. Any time again with Travel China Guide.

We just got back home to Colorado Springs from Shanghai late last night. We spent several days in Suzhou and Shanghai after our Zhangjiajie and Huangshan tours.
We would like to thank you once again for arranging the Zhangjiajie and Huangshan tours. Everything was perfect, from the land tour, rail/airplane tickets to the hotels! LJ and April were such wonderful tour guides! They were very informative, personable and attentive to our needs. Our 7 people tour group are mostly senior citizens ranging from 56 to 76 years old. Everyone was extremely happy with the tours. We highly recommend LJ (Zhangjiajie tour) and April (Huangshan tour). They're both 10/10 and 5 star tour guides!!!
We'll be sure to recommend your travel company to our clients, friends and families!
Again, thank you for your excellent service and assistance, Emily. You have been so efficient and punctual in this whole reservation process!

China is a breathtaking country, rich in history, culture, and hospitality. The warmth of its people, the diversity of its cuisine, and the sheer beauty of its landscapes make for an unforgettable experience. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, every destination was a feast for the senses.
The tour itself was impeccably organized, ensuring a seamless and enriching journey. The guides were not only highly skilled professionals but also passionate storytellers, bringing each location to life with their knowledge and enthusiasm. Their expertise and attention to detail made the trip both enjoyable and insightful. Truly a world-class experience!

Communication with tour consultant Emily was good. Guide Connie in Chengdu was excellent, Kitty in Beijing and Celine in Xi'an were good and David in Shanghai was mediocre. Most drivers were good but the one in Beijing wasn't great. Program was comprehensive though I wasn't interested in museums in Chengdu or Shanghai. Can't say any of the included lunches or dinners were to my taste. Hotels were of a good standard (Chengdu less than the others) and well located.

We had a fantastic time in Japan in late March. Wendy from Travel China Guide delivered exactly what was promised—no complaints whatsoever.. In fact, as usual, they exceeded our expectations.
This ten-day trip to Japan was our third memorable vacation organized by Travel China Guide. Our guide and driver, Bradley, was particularly outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and a very careful driver. He took excellent care of us from the moment we arrived at the airport until he dropped us off for our departure.
We’re already thinking about our next vacation with Travel China Guide!
