We booked our whole China trip with TCG. Our first stop was Beijing. We covered so much, from the Great Wall to the Summer Palace. Barry, our guide, was friendly and informative throughout. He went above and beyond, even dropping us off at our train carriage for the next leg of our journey.

From Cool to Unforgettable — Thanks, Celine!
Today I got to see the Terracotta Army, and honestly The warriors were incredible — but Celine, our guide, made the whole thing next-level. She’s the kind of person who’s so informative without ever making it feel like a lecture. Incredibly friendly, crystal-clear with directions, and her communication was on point every single step of the way.
She kept the vibe open for questions and conversation, always smiling, always engaging. Celine took this experience from “cool” to “unforgettable.” She’s basically the tour guide whisperer.

Great day tour with Celine guide
Highly recommended tour with Celine guide!
She was one of the best guide ever met, fluent English language, really kind and helpful in every detailed advice and explanation about history, sites, and city. The tour was a really good half day to spend in Xi’an to have a great view of city and best sites, so hard to make by themself.
So if possible choose or ask for Celine to have a great day with her.

Absolutely stunning Avatar mountain.
Zhangjiajie National park is amazing, worth visiting. Breathtaking landscape, unique view. Emilia, our tour guide, added an extra gain to our visit. She is so well organized, helpful. We needed to change hotel and she was more than keen to help us with the transfer . Thank you a lot my dear Emilia. Keep going that way you’re the best.

We spent a wonderful day in Zhangjiajie
National Forest Park thanks to our amazing local guide Emilia. She perfectly explained everything we needed to know about Zhangjiajie, she really knows the National Park like the back of her hand!
She was available to help us for anything we needed.
If you are looking for a guided tour in Zhangjiajie this is the best one you could choose, and don't forget to ask for Emilia!

Chengdu day tour
Arrived on a Saturday afternoon by train.The train station is quite large and extremely crowded.Our guide from travel China quickly found us and introduced himself as Charles and along with a driver preceded to our car In the car Charles outlined our itinerary and location of the hotel.Holiday inn .
Pick up times were agreed for the following morning and Charles and driver were waiting to bring us to the panda research station.Entrance was easy a flash of the passports and on our way.Just a note to explain in china you need to carry your passports it seems everything is attached to the number, attraction entry tickets,train tickets etc .The panda research station is quite large and quite beautiful with many enclosures and exhibits to visit .Charles provided all the necessary panda information and directions around the station.As it was raining the pandas were hiding a bit but we still managed to encounter some. After a super lunch we headed to the broad and narrow alleys.Lots of tea ,shopping and restaurants a beautiful area.A quick car journey brought us to the people’s park with many natural attractions and a large outdoor tea room overlooking the lake.We paid a visit to matchmaking corner seemingly a tik tok sensesation and what a surprise and fun time did we have.Laughing as we left we toke a quick stroll and as always the driver was on hand to take us back to the hotel.Sadly we had to part with Charles who during the day more than provided care and attention and information he gave us a lasting memory of Chengdu.
Thank you Charles

Incredible visit to the Great Wall of China
Absolutely amazing! Visiting the Great Wall of China was a dream come true. The views were stunning. We visited some less crowded areas, which offered a more authentic experience. I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as there’s a lot of walking involved, if you decide to walk up the stairs. Apart from the Great Wall we also visited the Summer Palace. The experience was truly unforgettable, and I can't wait to return! Five stars all the way! I'd especially like to thank Lisa, our guide - very resourceful, gave us great advice, provided us with a lot of information. :)

Amazing tour with Helen as our guide
This tour was fantastic. Our guide Helen was amazing. She has so much knowledge of her country’s history and is very respectful and caring, always ensuring everyone is happy.
We weren’t able to make it to Tiananmen Square due to the military parade but the Forbidden City and Great Wall was plenty for a day of touring. There were 4 of us plus 8 others in the group. All picked up personally from our hotels.
Having the comfort of our own air conditioned mini bus was a blessing as it was very hot and humid.
I highly recommend this tour as we know it would have been quite difficult to organise and not have gone as smoothly as it did. Melody was quick to respond to emails to answer any questions and it was also one of the best priced tours going.

Half Day Tour to Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall
The half-day tour of the Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall was a resounding success, largely due to the exceptional tour guide, Helen. She was praised for her deep knowledge of both historical sites, which she conveyed through engaging stories and anecdotes.
?Helen was not only professional and highly knowledgeable but also had a great sense of humor and excellent communication skills. She managed the tour's schedule flawlessly, ensuring that the group moved efficiently through the Forbidden City and had ample time to explore the Great Wall without feeling rushed. Her kindness and attentiveness to the group's needs were also highlighted, making the long day comfortable and stress-free. In short, Helen's expertise and personable nature made the experience unforgettable, and she was highly recommended as a guide.

Nice trip in Xi'an
We had a nice day visiting the terracotta army and Xi'an. Our guide was Roger, he was kind and informative and told us the history related to what we were seeing. He helped us to find some nice spots for taking pictures also in the very crowded terracotta army site. The tour started pretty early so we arrived at the terracotta army site early, and we did almost no queue... We waited just like 10 minutes. Later in the morning there was a longer line.
The driver was good and the van was comfortable. We visited the pagoda and the city gate where, after the explanation , we had half an hour free time to explore by ourselves and take pictures. Pick-up was at the hotel lobby, we could choose if to be taken back to our hotel, or to the Muslim quarter to visit it.

Highly recommended
I went to Beijing on my own, and had to arrange as much as possible before I went. I heard how difficult it was to score tickets for Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City, so, I turned to Travel China Guide for a half day guided tour. They didn't only got me a tour and a ticket, they stayed in contact, answering all the questions, explaining all the procedures that I had questions about, warned me about using my full name from my passport instead of only first nam and last name, to avoid any complications. When there was difficulty filling the half-day group they very flexibly came up with a solution. Their correspondence with me was always in impeccable English, no misunderstanding possible. The guide on the group spoke good English, was knowledgeable, and fun to be around. To make long story short, I wholeheartedly recommend this agency. They'll spare you so much stress!

Must have if you visit China
I did know so little about this wonderful city and learned so much within one day thanks to the excellent organized tour and also excellent performance of our tour guide Carol. Although we had the highest temperature in the season, we really enjoy the visits of all the attractions, points of interest, very interesting and informative stories we heard from Carol, and the delicious local food in the very good restaurant. It was very emotional to shake hands with one of the persons that contributed the beauty of this wonder to be shared with visitors from all over the world.

A day to remember
If you are looking for a tour that can cover the main attractions in Beijing in 1 day, then this tour is recommended. From start to end, pick up point at the hotel and drop off, everything went smooth and no hassle. We were a big groups of family and we didn’t have to worry about anything as our tour guide “Helen” were well organised and prepared. She was very helpful and attentive to our questions which make the experience even more memorable.

Super AMAZING 1-day tour with Helen
It was a real blessing to have Helen as our tour guide on a hot and crowded summer day in Beijing within high season holidays in China.
She was so helpful, committed, friendly and compassionate that we enjoyed every minute of sightseeing at Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and The Great Wall of China. She attentively took us through the hot day with her love and smile, made our tour a long life memorable journey.
We wish her best of luck and health.
Highly recommended
Take care Helen!

Lemi Tour Guide! Great Experience!
We had lemi as our tour guide for the Glass Bridge and Tinamen Mountain Tour in Zhangjiajie and we had a great time. She came to pick us up at the hotel on time and was very nice our whole way there. Lemi got the tickets very effectively and fast helping us not do long lines for buying the ticket. She also explained all the options for the tour very well and was very enthusiastic throughout it. She also helped us take great pictures to remember the trip! Our group ( 7 people, 3 teenagers) had a great time and I would really recommend Lemi as a tour guide for all these activities and tour.

Amazing Experience in Zhangjiajie with Travel China Guide
Our 4-day tour through Zhangjiajie National Park, Tianmen Mountain, Furong and Fenghuang ancient town was truly unforgettable! From day one, everything was perfectly organized.
We were blown away by the surreal landscape in Zhangjiajie – especially the famous Hallelujah Mountain were the movie Avatar was filmed, the Grand Canyon and Tianmen Mountain.
The Furong and Fenghuang Old Town were magical places that feels frozen in time.
Tracy, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
She made this trip so much more than just sightseeing – it felt like traveling with a friend!
Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a hassle-free, in-depth experience of Zhangjiajie and the surrounding treasures.

Friendly Guide (Helen) - Spoke English - Good Itinerary
The guide Helen was friendly alredy from the first moment. They picked us at our hotel lobby and drove to Tianmen Square and Forbidden City. Helen explained the history behind the attractions, which made them much more interesting. Afterwards, they drove us to the Great Wall, which was breathtaking, and then back to the hotel. Helen also gave us some tips about the best places to take fotos and avoid crowds. Very recommended

2 days in Xi'an
After travelling from Beijing on the High Speed Train (350kph was the highest we saw) we were met by Carol who gave us a rundown of our Itinerary on the way to the hotel. Carol was super organized , spoke fantastic English and took us to the sights of Xi'an over the next two days, including the Terracotta Warriors, to the Old City Wall and the Muslim Street, probably the most interesting Street in China.
The next day Carol took us to Beilin Museum, where Pam was particularly taken with the stone tablets and the Calligraphy, before taking us to the airport and assisting us to check in for our onward flight. She was very personable and easy to get on with.

Wonderful Solo Traveler experience
Traveling solo can be intimidating, however, Linda Xie did a phenomenal job of being one step ahead every time and ensuring ease and comfort, as best as possible. From being picked up from the airport, checked in, and then every stop along the way, Linda was positive and thoughtful. It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again!

Best Beijing Tour you can have with Helen.
Great Tour to the summer palace, lama temple and temple of heaven. Helen, our lovely and heartfelt tourguide, wrote us a day before, picked us up punctual in the morning and made a great introduction on the way to the first point. She told us some great facts about Beijing, answered our questions and was obliging. She took pictures of us, gave us the time we needed and at the end she organised tickets for the red theater for us. It was a recommendation from her and absolutely great! We loved it and when we come back to Beijing we'll always have a tour with her again.

Unforgettable Experience in Xi’an with Travel China Guide
Our stop in Xi’an was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our China tour. Visiting the Terracotta Army was absolutely breathtaking, Overall, the organization by Travel China Guide was spotless and perfectly smooth. Our guide, Jakye Dong guided us through the rich history of Xi’an with enthusiasm and precision, sharing fascinating facts, stories, and insights.
Thanks to him, we not only explored the city’s most iconic landmarks, but also discovered hidden gems and local spots that made our visit feel authentic and memorable.

Wonderful tour. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed this tour with our guide Carol. She was very knowledgeable and explained the history of everything. Carol also made sure everyone was well hydrated with unlimited complementary water in the extremely hot weather. After the Terra Cotta Museum we stopped for an optional lunch at your own expense at a Chinese restaurant which was really good. At the City Wall, you could rent a bike to ride around but everyone opt out of this as it was extremely hot outside. You can be dropped off at the Muslim Bazaar which was really interesting and should be visited. Highly recommend this tour.

Chengdu Day Tour
The tour was great, it started around 8 a.m. because pandas are only active when the temperature is comfortably low. There are 3 different panda shelters in Chengdu. We visited the breeding shelter where they have giant pandas, both adults and baby pandas, and red pandas. We stayed for a couple of hours then after lunch we went to the Jinsha museum, also very interesting, and after an hour and a half we went for a walk to Kuanzhai alley, 4 very touristic streets of Chengdu. Our guide for the day was Birdy, a very knowledgeable, nice and friendly young lady, who took very good care of us and was so sweet she even gave us a very cool gift.

zhengjiajie peaks and pinnacles
We had a super awesome time over three days in Zhangjiajie with Jason! saw the peaks, got an awesome hike up the golden whip stream, hiked the glass bridge canyon and pinnacled at Tienmen mountain. Jason was an incredible asset to our stress-free adventure and if more family and friends come over in the future it will definitely be under his wing! :)

Brilliant tour
What an amazing way to explore the highlights of Beijing! Despite the free water provided, I would reccomend bringing your own bottled water in the morning as queues can be very long at Tianamen Square with little/no access to purchase drinks (especially if you're travelling outside the free pickup area since the water is only available on the bus). Thankfully, our guide Helen was incredibly helpful and accommodating and quickly escorted us to water/bathroom facilities when available. She also provided many interesting facts about the history of the locations and guided us to quieter areas to take better photos. She was an amazing guide and I cannot praise her enough. Unfortunately, the first day of my tour was cancelled due to weather concerns, however TravelChinaGuide fully refunded that day of the tour as well as organising tickets for me so that I could explore the locations myself. Further to this, the Mutianyu section of the wall was sadly closed however the Badaling section was extraordinary and definitely not a wasted visit. Thank you Helen and thank you TravelChinaGuide.
