Wonderful Xi'an Trip
Hi Kelly, thank you, we had a wonderful time. We especially liked the hotel in Xi'an - the location was great and the rooms were comfortable (and large!). We had a nice time with the guides (both Lola and Celine) who spoke great English and were very knowledgeable. I also thought booking and organizing the trip with you was straightforward and easy. We appreciated the flexibility on your part and on Lola's part as we determined the best itinerary for our trip.

Our Best Holiday Ever
"First of all I would like to commended you on organising our tour, our 4 star accommodation , private car with the lovely driver and our English speaking tour guide. Heidi was amazing and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoy our tours very much. They were all eye opening for the two us. Everything was well organised. The local foods were amazing. And we will recommend your tour company to some of our friends. The language was a bit frustrating, but with the tour guide there it was all great.
As for you Emily,
I was very impressed with the arrangement and organising of our whole tour. You were magnificent, you and us did everything on line, which can be hard, but there were no problems, everything went smoothly. The best holiday we both had. The people very respectful and everywhere we went, it was clean. Will come back again and will book through you and your company.
Thank you and cheer"

A Wonderful, Unforgettable China Trip
Everything is wonderful. You planned such a great experience. Ethan is well organized and thinks of everything. Our driver gets us around safely. They take great care of us. We had weird weather today while visiting the wall. It will definitely be something to remember. Ethan said that this never happened to him in 12 years of being a guide. Even so, I enjoyed every minute.
Personally, I have had trouble walking. I don’t know why. My poor son has to wait for me. I hope he is having fun even though he is stuck with me.
we have enjoyed our trip to China. You live in a beautiful country.

A Seamless Family Journey Through China
"We booked a family tour of China through TravelChinaGuide in May, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
From our very first enquiry through to the final booking, Emily was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. She patiently guided us through the various tour options, provided valuable suggestions, and ensured the booking process was seamless. Even after the reservation was confirmed, all our questions and requests were addressed promptly and efficiently.
Upon arrival in Beijing, we were warmly welcomed, and transferred smoothly to our hotel. The hotel check-in process was effortless, setting the tone for a well-organized journey ahead.
Our tour group consisted of 17 travellers from different countries, creating a wonderful and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. The tour coach was spacious and comfortable, and all the hotels were of a high standard, conveniently located near major attractions.
The local guides in each city were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing China’s rich history and culture. They brought every destination to life and made the sightseeing experiences both informative and engaging. The drivers were equally professional, ensuring safe and comfortable travel throughout the tour.
One aspect that particularly impressed us was the seamless coordination of intercity travel. Whether travelling by high-speed train or domestic flight, every transfer was handled flawlessly. We were escorted to our departures and warmly received by the next guide upon arrival, making the entire process stress-free.
The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, combining iconic sights, fascinating cultural experiences, excellent traditional meals, and spectacular shows. As a vegetarian family, we greatly appreciated the care and attention given to our dietary preferences throughout the journey.
China is a vast, diverse, and beautiful country, and thanks to TravelChinaGuide and Emily, our first visit was truly memorable. We returned home with wonderful memories and would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to China."

Incredible Service
"I have travelled to many countries, and have taken many guided tours. Tour operators differ, and often what is advertised is not what is delivered. That was not the case with TravelChinaGuide Tours. To begin with, I reached out for the sole purpose of booking our train from Shanghai Hongqiao to Beijingnan. The arrangements were incredibly smooth and absolutely perfectly planned. We were delivered what we hoped for and even when a change was made prior to travel, the request was accommodated without any pause or issue.
During the course of scheduling the train, I learned of other tours and abilities of TravelChinaGuide Tours. We had our transportation to and from the station and the hotel arranged for, and we changed our planned excursion from another provider - simply because of the way I was treated by Sophie and Christina. I had a feeling that this was who I needed to engage for our travel tour needs.
We arranged for a trip to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Included was a buffet lunch. Our situation was a bit different, as my wife currently travels using a cane due to an injury she sustained last year while in Shanghai. There was never a concern mentioned, and I was assured that the guide would take her limitations into consideration. Our Guide, Sarah, was nothing less than incredible.
Sarah arrived at our hotel early, and was eagerly waiting our arrival. She met us with a smile and was easy to identify. Right from the beginning, we felt at ease and as if we were actually traveling with a friend as opposed to a professional guide (then again, is that not what a professional guide is supposed to do, but often does not?). She travelled at our pace, and provided so much invaluable and interesting information during the tour. Never did we feel rushed or get the feeling that we were dragging her behind, nor did we sense any form of irritation when we had to slow the pace a bit. I think she was actually a bit surprised with the ability of my wife to navigate things with a cane, but again, it was never made an issue.
Lunch provided was equally as impressive, even if a “designated” stop for most tours. There was an abundance of food of every kind - vegetarian needs were met along with us carnivores and pescatarians. Delicious, fresh and nicely and clearly displayed along with english translations. It was actually one of the better meals that we had during the Beijing portion of our trip!
The tour itself was nothing less than perfect. We walked the entirety of the Forbidden City and along the way Sarah would explain the different aspects of the city itself, along with the history of Beijing and Nanjing and the different emperors and powers the developed China as we know it today. This was not just a history lesson - it was a comfortable dive into the history of China that was interesting, engaging and left us wanting to learn and do more. At “the Wall”, we were similarly educated as to the nature of the wall, why and by whom it was built and the modernization / repair that has taken place at different points along the structure itself. Once again, we were left wanting to learn more, not because we did not learn enough or that was was shared was typical tour guide “fluff”, but because of Sarah’s knowledge and enthusiasm it made us want to.
In fact, we are already planning our trip next year and will certainly look to TravelChinaGuide Tours and Sarah to fill the need. Without question.
TourChinaGuide Tours, Sophie, Christina and Sarah, are absolutely the best professional tour guides and operators that you could hope for. I highly recommend them for any of your travel tour needs in Beijing and wherever they may be. They have certainly earned my complete trust."

More Than Expected Family Trip
"My family and I truly enjoyed the visit to China.
It was all I expected plus more, I am proud of being of Chinese descent and seeing all of that, made me prouder.
The guides were phenomenal, especially Lily, she took the time to meet multiple parties in Beijing from same company that were leaving Beijing to Xian. Making sure all parties and belongings made over in the transfer. Her favorite line was: stick together like sticky rice, hahaha
Kevin offered us options on our itinerary moving things around due to weather and keeping the whole initial group together.
Marco mentioned of a night tour and most of the group was interested even though not part of the itinerary, but since most wanted to go, he tagged along making sure we all knew our way. Great plus was that he spoke Cantonese, hahahaha. I felt immediately more comfortable and at easy since I spoke Cantonese and not Mandarin. My wife knows a little bit of Mandarin, but I only know Cantonese.
Molly was great too, although our stay and interaction with her was shorter than all, she made sure we were all situated for everybody's departure. It was a rainy stay in Shanghai, but she soldiered along with the group, hehehe.
I saw you briefly in Xian hotel lobby, but didn't have opportunity to talk to you as I was busy making sure wife and kids were all together and ready.
I truly thank you for not giving up on my quote even though I had to delay due to circumstances back in US and kids school schedule.
You responded to any questions I had about the package and promptly. The itinerary was perfect being my first time to China.
Originally, I wasn't so sure about an online tour company, but I heard from others in the group great things about your company which made me feel more at ease.
I am planning another future trip next year or so to China and would love to use your company again, but this time bringing my Dad with us. He is Chinese born and was really happy with me visiting his homeland. He wants to come with us next visit, but he is 80 years old. So, I am trying to get something easier considering his age.
Once again, Thanks for all you did in getting this package together and keeping me informed all along of all the guides I would be meeting and providing their contact and train and plane fares and above all, not giving up on me. The exact planning for day to day of the stay was on point.
I looked at other tour companies online, but yours was what I chose and loved it."

Highly Recommending Travel China Guide
"The overall experience is good. Hotels in the 4 cities were very nice and comfortable.? Sightseeing arrangements met expectations. The driver Charlie who met us at Beijing airport was welcoming and friendly. Tour guides Candy in Beijing, Tracy in Xian and Lily in Guilin were all professional, knowledgeable and helpful. We were very satisfied with the arrangements and service until we arrived in Shanghai.
I assure you I will not hesitate to recommend Travel China Guide to anyone asking for a trustworthy tourist agent. If I plan to visit any places in China in future, I will certainly contact you."

A Smooth Journey Thanks to TravelChinaGuide's Team
"Greetings TravelChinaGuide!
I am happy to provide you with our recent tour experience in China.
First off, Wendy Li our consultant, did a marvelous job planning the tour for us. During the planning, her response was always almost instantaneous and accurate followed by very orderly and clear advice and instructions.
We were lucky to have good weather all the way and especially grateful to have delightful and responsible tour guides.
Connie(Chengdu guide), PJ(Zhangjiajie guide) and Samantha(Hangzhou guide) were exceptional in that they went over and above their responsibilities to serve us. Your drivers were also very professional. We never had to waste our time waiting.
The hotel accomodations are fine, breakfast in the Grand Hyatt at Chengdu is our favourite. Their locations are all good. "

Perfectly Organized Gansu Journey
Dear Emily, Here is our review of the Gansu tour: “This Gansu tour was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, Vicky, our local guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Every sightseeing stop was well-organized and timed perfectly. Vicky, made sure we didn’t miss any hidden gems and even helped us try local delicacies. The Mogao and Yulin cave murals were breathtaking beyond words — a true masterpiece of ancient art and spirituality. In Jiayuguan, the Great Wall fortress was awe-inspiring — standing at the edge of the desert felt like stepping into history . The hotel accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-located — perfect for resting after long days of exploration. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves culture, history, and stunning landscapes. Five stars for the guide, the hotels, and the unforgettable experiences! Last but not least I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to Emily Xin for all her help in organizing our trip. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, patient and thoughtful—making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free.”

A Seamless and Enjoyable Trip to China
"We are back to normal and I am happy to share with you our impressions of the trip we had in China.
Thanks to the organization of the agency, your guides and drivers and especially thanks Amy to your service, availability and care for all the details, we had an especially interesting and enjoyable trip with almost 0 problems, this is not taken for granted and for that we thank you very much!! All the ground arrangements, flights, trains, hotels, transfers, tickets to the sites and everything else were carried out flawlessly.
All the guides who accompanied us were efficient, nice and highly service-conscious, I would like to especially mention the experienced guide ALAIN who was with us only one day in Shanghai but a special and enjoyable day and the guide DU who was with us for 4 days and took care of us every moment throughout the day, above and beyond what was expected, really well done!
Everything else was perfect and very enjoyable. We were very impressed with the beautiful and modern China and especially with the service and kindness of the Chinese residents we met along the route.
Thanks and best regards"

Great tour organized by Emily
"Thanks for passing on our contact details
The trip was amazing and exceeded all our expectations
All the guides were so knowledgeable and professional and the hotels were wonderful
The only glitch was a canceled flight to Guilin which was not the fault of China Travel Guide
I would happily book through your agency again and pride recommendations on request.
We are spending a few days now in Shanghai and Hangzhou before flying to the Phillipines for some rest and more adventures
It was a pleasure to meet you in Xian
Take Care

Perfectly Organized China Trip
Truly an excellent experience our trip to China. From the very beginning there was direct communication and constant updates on everything we needed. They helped us a lot to understand the specifics of the country, what to look out for, how to get around and what to expect, which made the trip much easier. They were also very flexible and helpful in making changes and adjustments that we needed when organizing the trip. Very professional team with excellent service.

Lovely China Tour
"We absolutely loved China and our tour with TravelChinaGuide. We have been praising it to all our family and friends.
Firstly I want to thank you for all your assistance in planning the trip. You always responded promptly and made the process seamless.
I especially want to thank you so much for your help on the first night we arrived in Beijing. We arrived at the hotel at 9.30pm after a very long day of travel. We then realised that we were missing our backpack which contained our laptop, folder containing all documents, and all our device chargers. Have to admit that we were in a bit of a panic, especially as we had another week in China after the tour.
With the help of the hotel staff, we contacted you and you immediately acted, locating the friendly driver who went out of his way and returned the bag the same night even though he was probably already home. We were so grateful , and the outcome would have been very different if it were not for the excellent service.
The trip itself exceeded our expectations. The hotels in Beijing and Xian were exceptional in every way. Although the Sheraton in Guilin wasn't of the same standard, this may have been due to availability in Guilin and it was still ok.
The tour guides were all great. Especially Carol in X'ian who was charming, very informative and looked after each individual to make the tour the best it could be. Eg: even at the restaurants she was so attentive helping each person with their orders .
Kevin was also very good, and changed the tour around to suit the group and days agenda. eg: It was raining after visiting the Great wall. The group was all tired , so we went back to the hotel, and fitted in the Hutongs early the next morning instead.
We thought China was lovely, and the people so friendly. Hopefully we can return one day."

Informative and enjoyable tour
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.

Totally Recommend
"To offer feedback, we all thoroughly enjoyed the trip. You were highly organised and responsive throughout and that gave a great sense of confidence before the trip. The whole agenda ran smoothly, and the guides and transport were all waiting for us at the right times and the right places.
We found the hotels to a very good standard, the Holiday Inn at Xian was slightly old fashioned rooms compared to the others , the hotels in Guilin and Shanghai were above expectations.
The tour itinerary was also very good and allowed us to see a huge amount of China in the limited time we had
I honestly can’t fault any of the arrangements and would happily recommend you to anyone wanting to travel across multiple cities.
I have already left a Trip Advisor review and mentioned you and the guides by name.
Feel free to use any of my comments with my pleasure"

Well done Kina!
"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!!!"
