We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of some of Beijing's key landmarks today. Starting at 8am allowed us to beat the crowds and have a peaceful visit to the serene Temple of Heaven. Our knowledgeable guide, Helen, provided excellent historical context that enhanced our understanding of this iconic site.

The next stop at the Summer Palace was a highlight. We were glad we opted for the longer walking route through the stunning Long Gallery, which Helen guided us through expertly, bringing the palace's history to life.

Exploring the charming Hutong neighborhood by rickshaw was a wonderful was both informative and engaging.

Throughout the day, Helen's passion for sharing Beijing's rich cultural heritage was evident. Her warm and personable guiding style ensured we felt welcome and comfortable. We can wholeheartedly recommend this private tour as a wonderful way to see the tour’s sights with an exceptional guide.

Our Tour Guide Liz was the Best She’s Professional, knowledgeable, funny and very helpful . she went above and beyond she showed us everything we need to see and experience.
Both days was filled with excitement and thrills i definitely recommend to take this tour with them. A few of people we met along the way were lost & didn’t really know where to go and what to do, Good thing Liz with us and people end up asking her for help since no one can assist them.

The Zhangjiajie National Forest and Tianmen mountain are both beautiful and magnificent Highly recommend you book this Tour with them

An Unforgettable Experience in China!

Our trip to Tianmen Mountain, Yungjiajie Glass Bridge, 72 Wonders, and Zhangjiajie Rain Forest was absolutely breathtaking, and a huge part of that magic was thanks to our amazing tour guide. Liz was incredibly sweet, patient, and knowledgeable, and you could truly feel how much she loves sharing the beauty and history of her country.

From navigating the glass bridge to explaining the stories behind the Avatar Mountains, she knew every detail, every shortcut, and every perfect photo spot. She made us feel safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for the entire time.

If you’re planning a trip to this region, do yourself a favor and book with Liz. She turned a great trip into an unforgettable adventure. Highly, highly recommend!

The guide was Rocky. Amazing trip, amazing everything, highly recommend. Very professional, good speaking guide. It was deep dive into history, interesting topics to talk, excellent experience. Must have to have a look on china, its culture and history.
It’s really pleasant to know that there are good guides that speak English clearly and are able to entertain. Rocky is really good, took pictures of every tourist in different spots, paid attention to everyone. It was really cool experience. Will do it again.

The 2-day trip was absolutely amazing. Everything worked out just the way we imagined—always on time and completely smooth.
November is truly the best time to travel: not crowded, no waiting times, and the weather was perfect—sunny with clear skies!

Our group was wonderful, and we made, shared, and discovered so many beautiful memories together. Our tour guide, Phoenix, was fantastic—very friendly, helpful, talkative, and entertaining! Her English was excellent, and she was simply such a great person.

I would recommend this trip to anyone. I traveled with my partner and two friends, and everyone was very satisfied! We will definitely come back and continue booking with this travel agency—and recommend it to others as well. This is already the 3rd time booking trips trough this agency! ;)

During the planning stage of my trip to China, I chose Travel China Guide for the following reasons:
-small-group tours
-comprehensive scheduled visits
-a wide choice of tours based on the cities visited, routes, and duration
-the possibility of having some free time to manage independently
-high-level hotels
-very good reviews
-excellent value for money.

During the preparation of the trip, I was in contact with Kina Lu, who turned out to be exceptional in assisting me: she suggested booking an early check-in at the hotel since I would be arriving in Beijing at 5 a.m., and this allowed me to handle the jet lag smoothly. She also provided me with all the information I needed to get around in China.

During the tour, I greatly appreciated the organization, the quality of the service, and the professionalism of the guides.
Kevin guided us in Beijing, Carol in Xi’an, and Monica in Guilin.
They are all very skilled, knowledgeable, and always available. It is not easy to navigate the massive crowds of tourists in China and find people who speak good English. During the trip, the guides kept the group united and always managed to spark interest with their explanations.

Carol, in particular, proved to be far above expectations thanks to her maturity, her ability to anticipate the needs of the travelers, her knowledge of history and the places we visited, and her skill in leading the group through complex and challenging sites.

In conclusion, I confirm the stellar reviews that already characterize Travel China Guide, and I'am glad that the trip exceeded my expectations.

We had a great tour with Celine to visit the Terracotta Warriors Museum, followed by the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and the Xi’an City Wall. Throughout the tour, Celine shared a lot of fascinating history about China and the city of Xi’an. We really enjoyed all the information and appreciated the time we spent at each place.

It was a long day, but Celine made it pass quickly with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Also, for those who don’t enjoy shopping stops—this tour has none, which we really appreciated.

We highly recommend this tour!

I visited Beijing for 4.5 days with my parents in November 2025 with Kevin Han as our guide. Kevin was excellent as a guide, very knowledgable about Chinese history and culture, providing brilliant story telling and commentary about all the places we visited. The tour was very comprehensive, where we covered the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace, Gong Mansion, Badaling Great Wall, Changling Tomb and Beijing Zoo. We also had a private driver as part of the tour who transported us between locations with much convenience.

I did the 3 day Guilin tour, with this day tour included. Our guide, Monica, spoke excellent English and was very proactive in explaining the history and culture of Guilin to us. The tour company also catered well to our dietary requirements, which I appreciated. They also organised good quality hotels and a driver for us. The Li river cruise was also of high quality, and the scenery was beautiful. No negative experiences.

It was one long day, yet our lovely guide Liz had the energy and stamina to keep us all going! Even after 999 steps she kept us motivated and going. Her knowledge of the area and its history is also fantastic! I would recommend this tour to EVERYONE!

The 6 of us just completed a fantastic 12-day Beijing, X'ian, Guilin, and Zhangjiajie tour organized by our Travel Consultant, Kina Lu. We enjoyed every site we visited and most of the meals included in the tour. Thank you, Kina, for your patience and 5-star services to secure this wonderful tour for us. We also would like to thank our tour guides, Carol in X'ian, Monica in Guilin, and Ivy in Zhangjiajie for going above and beyond to accommodate our request for activities outside of the tour agenda. We will definitely join Travel China Guide Tours again for our future China tours!

LJ is the best tour guide in Zhangjiajie!
He is incredibly knowledgeable, and truly deserves to be promoted to a supervisory role so he can train others to be just like him.

LJ was a caring gentleman who genuinely spoiled us throughout our trip. He always made sure we had everything we needed and consistently went above and beyond what was included in our itinerary. He accommodated us in every way possible.

Because he grew up in Zhangjiajie, he made our visit exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. His English was excellent, and he is one of the hardest-working tour guides we’ve ever met.

If you want the best experience in Zhangjiajie, ask for LJ!
Thank you so much, LJ!

Our 2 days visit to Xi’an was a great experience and full of history. We visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horse Museum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the City Wall and Muslin Street. All admissions were included.
The restaurants and food that was recommended was also fantastic. Our guide was wonderful, she has lots of experience and knowledge about the history of Xi’an. She is a great guide and provided us a wonderful experience. Thank you for that.

Helen is such a warm personality and highly motivated and funny guide (very recommendable!), She showed us every detail in the region and she gave us such valuable informations. I truly enjoyed with her my day trip to the Forbidden city, Tiananmen square and the Great Wall of China. The places were very beautiful, it was a relieve to walk in such beautiful and historical places.
The atmosphere was so special that it really felt like we all know each others since a long time. All respect for Helen who does a great job there; a true exemple of excellent tour guide!

What an unforgettable day discovering Beijing’s iconic landmarks with Helen! From the moment our punctual driver picked us up at the hotel, everything ran seamlessly. Helen guided us expertly through every must-see attraction, weaving rich historical insights with practical advice that made navigating bustling sites like the Forbidden City so much easier. Her local tips and patient direction meant we could relax, even as we explored the city on foot amid vibrant crowds. Helen’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge turned each stop into a memorable experience. Thank you, Helen, for making Beijing feel accessible and truly remarkable!

This is my 3rd trip organised by Amy Jian from TravelChinaGuide. Amy is a very competent n professional travel consultant who is not only knowledgeable but a caring travel consultant. Caring because even during our trip, she even checks up on us. My recent 9 days tour of Kunming, Dali and Lijiang for a group of 10 ppl were very well planned according to our request right up to the hotels, tour guides n even the drivers were well selected by her. We were overwhelmed by the breathtaking view of the Yulong snow mountain n the rapids at the tiger leaping gorge. Besides the scenery, we were able to experience the different ethnic minority cultures in these 3 different cities and even travel back in time of our forefathers n experienced their native ways of living at Shaxi n Shuhe Ancient Towns. Thanks to Amy’s well planned itinerary, we were able to enjoy these spectacular sites. Looking forward to our future holidays with TravelChinaGuide. Once again thank you Amy for everything.

It was an amazing trip. The sceneries were surreal. Our tour guide Ivy was very knowledgeable and very caring. The daily itinerary was well planned. We covered the Avatar mountains, Glass bridge, Tianmen Cave etc, with some downtime for us to enjoy the beautiful city by ourselves in the evening. Ivy also arranged the most delicious minority tujia lunches. She also helped us booked the foot massages and musical performances in the evening. She took us to the high-speed train station and made sure we knew where to check in. I will definitely visit Zhangjiajie again and hope to see Ivy again.

Beijing and Xian were truly memorable. I especially liked Xian. because of our amazing tour guide Carol. She is very knowledgeable and super caring. She took us to the terracotta warrior museum and gave us a detailed explanation of the history. I got to make my terracotta warrior. The next day she took us to the city park and we practiced taichi with the master. She arranged the most delicious lunches with local flavors. I would like to visit Xi’an again and hope to see Carol again.

Our tour was specifically created visiting Xi’an, Guilin and the Longsheng rice terraces together with travel from Beijing to Xi’an and Guilin to Hong Kong. We were assigned a tour consultant - Amy Jian who was very helpful and efficient in arranging the tour. The tours were well organised with knowledgeable and friendly guides and no hidden surprises in terms of costs. At the main attractions, in particular the terracotta warriors, the crowds were at times almost overwhelming. Overall an enjoyable and informative trip

I had an awesome day on this tour with Rita. She was full of enthusiasm, knowledge and humour to help make the trip memorable. We visited the Terracotta Army, and then sites within Xi'an itself including Wild Goose Pagoda and the city walls. She had great insight into many aspects of the places we visited and she has also visited my home country which was good as she had an understanding of me and where I am from. Even after the tour, Rita was very helpful and offered her advice if needed. This was perfect as I had been suffering with back pain and she was able to recommend me an acupuncture specialist and arrange me an appointment on the same day. Rita is a credit to the company she works for and a great promoter of China as a whole. Thanks!

A 1 day trip to Chengdu. Our tour guide Charles was excellent. He showed us the beautiful City of Chengdu. Our first stop was the Panda Research Center. It was a lot of fun seeing so many Giant Panda’s, some sleeping perched high in the trees, others eating and being playful. Next, we had an authentic Sichuan lunch, Charles ordered for us, everything was delicious, especially the beef, pork and vegetable dishes. Our next stop was Kuanzhai Alley, a lively area. We strolled the alleyway and enjoyed the shops, and beautiful ancient architectural scenery. Charles was an excellent tour guide he explained all the sights, he’s very knowledgeable and most of all very nice and friendly. I would highly recommend his tour.

The Juyongguan section of the great wall has some of the best views I have seen, but also some of the hardest stairs I have seen in my life. Barry was an amazing guide, extremely professional, communicative, and had all the information you could ask for on the wall. I would highly recommend Barry as a guide anywhere in Beijing.

Helen was an excellent tour guide. Her English was outstanding and she was very easy to understand. We only had one day in Beijing, and she made sure we saw all the main attractions without ever feeling rushed. The tour was incredibly informative, well-coordinated, and thoughtfully paced. There’s a lot of walking involved, so it was great to return to the comfortable vehicle between stops. She also ensured everyone stayed comfortable throughout the full day. Overall, the tour was exceptional value for money. We truly appreciated Helen’s professionalism and warm personality—highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Mr. Murphy, was truly outstanding. From beginning to end, he explained every attraction with clarity, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge, making the entire trip both educational and enjoyable. What impressed us the most was how inclusive he was—he always made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. No one was ever left behind, as he constantly checked on each guest before moving to the next stop.

The group itself also made the experience even more fun. Everyone who joined the tour was friendly and lively, which added to the positive energy throughout the day.

The itinerary was superb. It covered all the must-see highlights of Beijing in just one day, without feeling rushed. If you only have a single day to explore the city, this tour is absolutely perfect. Well-planned, smooth, and full of meaningful insights into Beijing’s rich history and culture. 10/10

Private tour in LongJi rice Terraces in one day. My guide was Monica who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. She asked me my intentions for that day and made everything to give me a complete tour of those hills and a relaxing walk through that scenery. Before reaching the train station we also had time for some walk in Guilin city center where she explained to me some nice features and past history of the city. Completely satisfied with Travel China Guide and Monica.

Before the tour, I was concerned that trying to see so many things in a single day would be stressful. However, everything was very smooth and well organized, yet relaxed. There was no stress at all.

Roger is an informative and excellent tour guide with great communication skills and English language skills. We had a wonderful time! Thank you, Roger!

I highly recommend this tour.

I asked Wendy from TravelChinaGuide to organize a 4 day-long tour from Chongqing to Guilin. Even if the weather was pretty cloudy and rainy all the guides i met were able to fullfill my requests and their attitude, way of working and enthusiasm were really enjoyable. The booking prcess was easy and Wendy could change my trip according to my requests very quickly. The price was also really good. My overall experience was great because places were beautiful but also the guides and having a reliable travel agency makes journey more satisfactory

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!

A great tour. Rita was our guide (from Travel China Guide) and she was wonderful. She was on time, in the minibus she gave us lots of historical info about Xi'an and China in general. On the site, she guided us very efficiently through security checks and so on, and gave us again useful information about the Terracotta Warriors. Her English was excellent. We never fell being rushed or pressed by time. A great guide for a great visit!

It is a beautiful fairytale landscape and well worth the visit! There is so much to see, taking the tour gave us a great jumping off point. We were able to return and explore more on our own. Not sure we would have been in a position to navigate the systems without a guide to kick things off. Even if you just do a one day tour, it’s worth it. Multi day does let you see more and their organization to get in lots of the big stuff is really helpful on a tight schedule.

We had a little extra time so our guide, Phoenix, even helped us set up additional travel to explore more of the area. She really went above and beyond; she helped us and other guests with tickets and plans. It was awesome how much she cared and wanted to make sure we had a great experience, even after her responsibilities for the tour ended. We speak some Mandarin, but navigating the online booking for activities like this can be a challenge and you may not end up with the best set up. Phoenix got us hooked up with tickets and a plan and made it seamless for us.

If you are limited by time, I would say the most beautiful and fun for the kids and I, was the glass bridge and we did the big loop which included all the activities. Even more than the zip line, the kids and I LOVED the slides!!! But the best, was the 3km walk along the river. Absolutely magical. Spectacular scenery and easy terrain.

Spending months in China over the years, this is probably my favorite stop! And next time - we will plan to spend even more time in Zhangjiajie.
