The tour kicked off with the Terracotta Warriors, and on the way there, Tracy gave us a really helpful overview of Xi’an’s history and what to expect at the site.
The minibus was clean and comfortable, which made the whole day feel easy and relaxed.
After the museum, we visited the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and walked part of the Ancient City Wall. Both were highlights in their own way, with great views and a real sense of the city’s past.
Tracy was friendly, well-informed, and kept the pace just right.
It was a nice way to experience the city and I highly recommend it!!

Reliable Travel Consultant
My trip to China started with what Kina Lu customized a 10-day trip to Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Shanghai. She answered all my questions promptly and provided links for tips for the trip. I just have to keep track of each email with replies that attached to previous emails so that it’s easier for Kina as well as myself to see what has been asked before the trip. Kina patiently answered all my questions and concerns.

An excellent day tour of Shanghai
We had a great tour with our guide Helen. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pick up to the hotel drop off. Helen guided us through the beautiful Yu Garden after which we had some free time to explore the adjacent shops. Then we were driven to the Bund area for an hour long boat tour on the Huangpu river. Lunch was included at a very nice Chinese restaurant and we finished the day with some time in the Shanghai museum. An excellent day out with a very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this tour.

It’s not Forbidden, It’s really Great - Forbidden City and Great Wall is Awesome
Rocky Rocks!!! He is super reliable, knowledgeable and cares to his guests whole heartedly. Not very pushy or sarcastic and he can relate to all nationality. Very open minded indeed. Kudos also coz aside from being fluent in English, he is a good photographer as well. Captures the most scenic spots.
Our driver is also very polite although I did not get his name.
The tour was well planned and on point. Organize and it really shows the Majestic treasures of Beijing - Great Wall and Forbidden City. Thank you for letting us enjoy and learn. Till next time

AmaIng tour with a fun guide.
It was amazing trip. My guide, Mary ,picked us up at exact time and took care of everything. She was very knowledgeable and tried to explain as much as possible. She even knew which toilet is dirty and which one is clean. She would even bargain for me when I tried to buy some souvenir so I got half it for half price. She was hard working and had such a fun vibe. I highly recommend her :) Also, the van was really clean and cool. They provided water for us as well and made sure we are comfortable all the time.

Awesome Zhangjiajie Day Trip
I had a great experience on this day trip. The national park is stunning and we were able to see quite a lot of fantastic views. The tour guide, Megane, was a great guide. She was very nice, informative, and spoke fluent English. She also helped my group pick our lunch spot which had a lot of delicious authentic Chinese dishes.

Best of Beijing with Barry
Our time in Beijing was limited, just four days really, but we managed to spend time at Tiananmen Square, walked along The Great Wall of China, explored the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park, the Temple of Heaven plus the Summer Palace. We even squeezed in a class on making dumplings, and hutong meanderings.
Our guide, Barry, was excellent. The places he took us for food were very good, with a nice variety of cuisine and very reasonable prices.
His knowledge of each place we visited was excellent, and we both learned a lot about China and its history and culture.
Additionally, Barry’s help at the hotel and the airports was also so valuable, making the whole experience smooth and memorable.

Very enjoyable trip. Professional agency. Highly recommended.
Travel China Guide Tours help organized my family visit to China. It is my effort tro show to my US family what China is all about. This tour agency is totally profeessional. My travel consultant is Kina Lu. She is especially helpful. She was patient and answered all email within the same day. She help us plan out 14-day tour of Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chungqin, and Shanghai. Our family of seven made up this private tour which itinerary was modeled after the standard tour with some modiifciation to suit our needs. It was well organized and and tour was educational, informative, fun and totally enjoyable. All the hotels we stayed in were 5-star class. We had English speaking tour guide in each of the cities we visited. They speak good English and were very helpful and accommodating. The cost is not any more expensive than joining the standard tours fromn Hong Kong. I would highly recommend this tour agency, and if possible ask for Kinu Lu to be your travel consultant.

A day in Chengdu
Li Jie Fu (Jeffrey) was the guide for my family to Dujiangyan panda base and heritage irrigation system. It was an informative day trip a few hours from Chengdu and back. Jeffrey graciously and patiently answered all our questions about everything including the specific sites, the history of Chengdu and life in China. Jeffrey was also curious about us. He made a special effort to accommodate our dietary and mobility requirements. We were most impressed with his energy, enthusiasm, extensive knowledge and generosity of spirit. Jeffrey was an excellent guide. He has illuminated our understanding of China and inspired us to explore it further. We are most grateful to have spent the day with Jeffrey.

Tour to Zhangjiajie
Our tour of Zhangjiajie was absolutely fantastic! The city itself is peaceful and set in a stunning location among the mountains. Be prepared for a lot of walking, but it's completely worth it for the once-in-a-lifetime natural scenery.
Our guide, Jason, was wonderful- he provided detailed information and shared fascinating stories about the region and its minority cultures. He even arranged for us to see a local theater show.
Overall, we highly enjoyed both the destination and all the activities. A highly recommended experience!

Great Shanghai tour with Helen
We spent two days with Helen and could not have been more pleased. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and informative regarding the history and culture of Shanghai and made sure we saw all the important sights. She was always considerate of our interests and made sure our trip was as comfortable as possible. Travel China did an excellent job with arrangements and the prepaid meals were delicious and always more food than we could eat. Highly recommend this company and Helen.

Best tour we took in Asia!
We have been traveling around Asia by ourselves and on and off we book day tours. Today our tour went far beyond our expectations not just because the places we visited were spectacular but because our guide Jackie (Chinese name I think Dong), was wonderful!
Jacky spoke great English, which is not too common around China, was very informative, friendly, knowledgeable and brought the history of the places alive to us.
I wish we could take him with us to our next stops!!!
Xi An is an amazing city which unique places to see.
We would come back here in a heart beat.

Trip of a lifetime!
What an AMAZING trip! We were greeted by Oscar at the train station and personally escorted to our waiting vehicle and driver. We had beautiful accommodations at the Shangri-La hotel. We were then treated over several days to amazing adventures to see sites such as Longsheng and the Dragon's Backbone Terraces and a day cruise on the Li River. We also visited a local minority village where we were welcomed in and visited with a very beautiful and accommodating local family. We very much enjoyed an amazing lunch with tea while on our day trip. Our trip to Yangshuo and cruise on the Li River was an event of a lifetime! Words cannot describe the beauty of this part of China. Our stay at Yitian West Street hotel was perfect. Beautiful town with a vibrant nightlife. Be sure to try the local beer fish as it is delicious! Oscar was a consummate professional. He exceeded any expectations we had and was willing to go out of his way to accommodate all our needs. Our driver (also named Oscar) was professional in every manner and very safety conscious which was greatly appreciated. A trip of a lifetime by a truly wonderful company -- Travel China Guide.

Lovely Shanghai!
We had a wonderful trip to Shanghai!
Our accommodations were amazing. We stayed at the Radisson Blu Hotel in the center of the city. We enjoyed a tour of Shanghai Tower which had an incredible view of the city. Day cruise, beautiful lunch, tea tasting and shopping helped round out our first day. The second day we made a drive to the famous Tongli Water Town. What a history lesson to be had! The most incredible lunch with tea and live music was had at a local restaurant. A peaceful and much needed relaxing day. Our tour guide Bonnie was a gracious host with vast knowledge about both Shanghai and China. Our stay in Shanghai was a highlight of our China trip!

Unforgettable tour of Xi’an with Jacky – Terracotta Army, Pagoda and City Wall made truly special in a single day
Our guided tour in Xi’an was an unforgettable experience! Visiting the Terracotta Army, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the impressive City Wall was truly fascinating, but what made the day even more special was our guide, Jacky. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His knowledge and explanations brought each site to life, and his warm personality made us feel comfortable and well taken care of from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better way to explore such a wonderful city. Highly recommended!

Xian full day tour
We had Carol as our tour guide and she was the best! My mom and I enjoyed our day with her at the Terracotta Warriors museum as well as the Pagoda and City Walls. I highly recommend her - she was organized and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Chinese history in a short amount of time. Hope we are able to return to Xian sometime in the future.

Our trip on Beijing is memorabel
Our time in Beijing was a wonderful experience. We visited many of the city’s highlights, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the hutong area with its narrow alleys and rickshaw ride. The day at the Mutianyu Great Wall was especially memorable. Although it rained, the misty atmosphere made the scenery even more beautiful and unique. Everything was well organized, which allowed us to simply enjoy each moment. We were very happy to have William (Wang Wei) as our guide during these days. He was attentive and helpful, making our time in Beijing both comfortable and memorable.Highly recommended.

Excellent Beijing Tour with Thoughtful Details
Private pickup from our nearby hotel made the start of the tour smooth and stress-free.
Our guide, “Rocky,” was friendly, spoke English, and was impressively knowledgeable. He equipped each of us with an earpiece at the Forbidden City, which made it easy to follow along with his detailed explanations without missing a word.
Rocky also handled the upfront payments for lunch and the Great Wall gondola, which kept the day running seamlessly. (Tip: if you book this tour less than a week before your arrival, you may need to purchase your own tickets at the gate.)
Be aware that passports are required and must be physically scanned for entry at several sites, so have them handy.
The bus was comfortable, with air conditioning and bottled water provided, and our group of 16 felt like the perfect size—not too large, but still social. Overall, it was a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable experience.

Incredible tour of Xi’an! Ask for Roger
Excellent small group tour. Lots of fascinating history. Terracotta Soldier museum is incredible and massive! Met the farmer who discovered the soldiers back in 1974. A must see while in Xi’an. Big wild goose pagoda is beautiful and the City Wall is an engineering marvel. Muslim Bazaar is bustling and is filled with a lot of food and activity. Roger, our guide, was outstanding. He is filled with unlimited knowledge of the area and historical sites and kept us well informed between places we visited. He was very accommodating to all guests requests for drop offs and gave us good recommendations for food and a show after the tour. Roger went above and beyond our expectations. Well done!

The top sights in a day - Do not miss out!
We had a short amount of time in Beijing but wanted to do some of the key sights. It is excellent & I would highly recommend it.
It's quite a long day, but over so quickly as we got to see so much & got great commentary from Rocky, our guide for the day. However, you are kept moving throughout the day but don't feel like you miss anything.
Tiananman Square & The Forbidden City make up most of the morning & whilst they were busy, we missed nothing as we were supplied with an earpiece to hear our guide.
The Great Wall is stunning & we got to spend a good couple of hours to take in the sights in our own time. Our guide then gave us an overview of the history of the wall on the way back to Beijing.
Our guide, Rocky, was very knowledgeable & humourous. He kept us moving at just the right pace so that we could take it all in but kept us to time - a great guide.
The added bonus on this trip was that there were no shopping stops, it delivered exactly what it said it would. A great overview of 3 of the key sights in & around Beijing.

Amazing tour and guide!
I was lucky to spend an unforgettable day with Kaia, an absolutely incredible guide. She is not only very professional but also funny, caring, and full of energy. Her explanations were always clear, interesting, and easy to remember, which made the tour even more enriching.
By far, she is the best guide I’ve had in China: she knows how to create a warm and friendly atmosphere while sharing her knowledge with passion.
I 100% recommend Kaia to anyone who wants to have an exceptional experience in Zhangjiajie

What a great day, thanks Helen!
We had a great trip today to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and then to the Great Wall. Our tour guide was Helen, she was amazing! Really professional and so friendly. Her English is excellent and I appreciated how she provided context on what we were looking at, bringing alive an era I had only a very patchy knowledge of. She also made things really clear about logistics decisions that needed to be made as a result of unexpected issues. I joined the tour with three work mates, the others on the tour were lovely people from all over the world. We appreciated that we had Helen in charge, I doubt it would have been possible for us to see so much in one day without being on this tour. The buffet lunch we all had prior to the Great Wall, was delicious!! Our time on the Wall was incredible, it was a misty rain day by then so there very few people, it was magical!! On the way back into town, while we relaxed, Helen was making arrangements to ensure everyone made it to where they needed to be on time. She went above and beyond for sure!

Excellent Tour Experience
Carol and her company are very good tour guide services to use. We had a last minute emergency and they allowed us to switch date of tour even though that was within non-cancellable period.
Carol is a very good and detailed guide. She explained the history and key things to see before and during our Terracotta tour start. During the tour she accommodated anything we want to do and see, including getting our picture taken to be part of the movie/story program which was a very interesting experience for us.
The tour also covered the Pagoda City wall and Muslim Bazaar. Carol did the same things to explain the background before and during the visit, At the Pagoda temple she explained background/history of each rooms' display. Such services really allowed us to appreciates the places and statue are representing, and making the tour even more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Tour through Chengdu with Bella
Our Guide, Bella, was amazing. Her lovely character and deep local knowledge captivated us instantly
We did a quick tour of chengdu as our overall itinerary was time limited and were left with a feeling of really having seen the highlights as well as knowing a lot more about the local culture.
She even adjusted our route on the fly to include the peoples park, even though we did not originally have it planned.
Id recommend asking for Bella if you book yourselves!

First time to China. Tours were wonderful in Beijing, Xiian and Shanghai. Special mention to our tour guide in Xiian, Celine. Celine welcomed our group in then Xiian airport and helped us with our luggage and gave us detailed information regarding our stay and activities for Xiian. Well spoken English and answered our questions. She was friendly and explained the food we were eating. She was wonderful. We hope you get Celine as tour guide in Xiian. Also our driver, Mr. Lee, in Xiian was great! I am recommending my friends when traveling to China to select Travel China Guide agency!!

SUPER DUPER TOUR!!!
This was really the highlight of my whole experience in China!
Helen was the most caring guide from the beginning towards the end, so kind and helpful. She gave some very good insights about Chinese history and culture throughout and even though we had the tour in an atypical day she worked around all the hiccups presented in the most professional and flawless way. Communication was assertive and clear from the day prior to the tour to the endm I am so happy to have seen one of the WONDERS OF THE WORLD in this tour. Also it was my birthday and the guide Helen was gentle enough to provide me with a souvenir as a birthday gift, definitely an extra mile in amiability. It's a must-go for sure. No one booking this tour can possibly regret it!!
