Our guide, Roger, was absolutely amazing. We were on a private tour with my 89yo parents with mobility issues. He was careful, respectful, kind and accommodating. He went out of his way to help them. He treated them with deference and respect as one would their grandparents. He was knowledgeable of Xian and it's history but it was his personal attention that made him outstanding. We nominate Roger, for best tour guide in China!

We had an incredible experience today, thanks to our wonderful guide - Rita. She was not only nice and welcoming but also highly knowledgeable and professional, ensuring that everyone in the group felt engaged and comfortable. The trip was well-organized, making every moment enjoyable, and the time spent at the Terracotta Warriors was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for an insightful and smooth experience.

We had a wonderful day with this tour, but my absolute favorite part was the visit to the Great Wall of China with Helen as our guide. Everything was perfectly organized and on time, including pick-up and transitions between stops. Helen was thoughtful and attentive to everyone in our group of 15. She recommended visiting the Wall in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, which was a great call. She clearly explained the different options to go up—either by cable car or riding chair—and the toboggan ride down, which was a fun highlight. For lunch, she suggested a buffet but also offered other choices, which we appreciated. The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended!

We went on this tour together with our 7-month old son. Rocky was really helpful during the tour with assistance with the buggy and was really knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We really enjoyed ourselves. The communication was clear, the guide was punctual and knows his history with the right amount of humour. The tour exceeded our expectations, perfect way to see the Beijing highlights in a day.

This is our second time working with Emily of Travel China Guide. As we experienced on our first tour, the service was EXCELLENT!! We have recommended Emily to friends who also booked with her and they too had an exceptional experience. We love China! The country is beautiful and the people very friendly. (and very affordable)

Had the best timein Chengdu with our guide Kiera as we got to see the Panda Research Base and the Jinsha Site museum. We got to explore Chengdu's history and got to see the adorable pandas and red pandas. Definitely recommended!

We had a day tour with Barry today.
He was incredibly kind, friendly, cheerful, and very attentive. He spoke great English and shared so much interesting information with us! A super cool and pleasant tour guide!
I highly recommend him and hope to meet him again someday.
Thank you for this amazing day tour, Barry!
Even after the tour, he’s always available to answer any remaining questions.

The Terracotta Warriors visitation shows how advanced the Chinese were all of those years ago. Mind blowing. The rest of the tour was such a learning curve and with such a wonderful tour guide in Lily everything just fell into place. A wonderful personality with a wealth of knowledge

Fabulous trip with lovely Claire - everything was beautifully arranged and a great mixture of pandas, history and food! Would definitely recommend the Sichuan Food Museum Cooking course, and of course the trip to the Panda base. Perfect weather (cool enough for the pandas to run about!) and no crowds as just after golden week

Well organized tour of the main highlights of Xi'an city. Our guide Roger was nice and explained a lot of interesting historic facts about every area we visited. The lunch is not include but the guide will get you to a local restaurant for you to eat and help you to order. There was water provided during the tour which was very helpful (beautiful day but hot and dry, make sure to check the weather and bring all necessities for your comfort). Overall, I would recommend this tour to be able to see most of Xi'an great places.

On our tour through China, we arrived in Xi’an from Beijing by train, where Carol from Travelchina Guide was already waiting for us with a sign! We had the chance to visit the Terracotta Army and other major attractions with Carol and our driver! Carol had extensive knowledge, explained everything to us, and we had a great time with her! Additionally, Carol gave us great tips and even organized a dinner theater show for us! Thank you, Carol, we would definitely do another tour with you anytime!

Lisa was the perfect guide for our Great Wall tour! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience feel so personalized and special. Her passion for the history and culture truly brought the Great Wall to life. She also took amazing photos for us and knew all the best scenic spots. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide – highly recommend her for anyone visiting China!

Finally ticked one of my bucket lists to come to Beijing Tianmen Square, Forbidden City and Great Wall of China ! Given our very short trip, we had a great start to the day with Mary who was punctual and led the group of 11 of us to the attractions with smooth walk, cable car up and a fun slide down from the Great Wall !! Thank you Mary for your attentive service. Mary was extremely helpful and willing to share her knowledge, and kept the whole group engaged at all times! Would love to have her as our tour guide again!

Has been an amazing trip visiting Chengdu and all the beauty of the town. The pick has been the Panda Conservation Center: for me, a dream becoming true!
Nothing could be so perfect without our incredible guide LuLu, a very nice girl, professional that had taken a great care of us always!! Thanks very much LuLu for your help and your kindly smile!! See you in a very near future!!

What a great day! Helen, our guide, and our driver picked us up in a nice van right on time. We spent the morning walking through Tiananmen Square (way bigger than we imagined!) and the Forbidden City (indescribable!) Helen was very knowledgeable about the history of Beijing and was able to tie the whole experience together. We were then off to the Great Wall! Helen recommended a great affordable lunch spot and then we made the climb for the amazing view. 10/10 would recommend this tour!

My family and I, all six of us, organized a private tour of Beijing and Xian through Travel China Guide in April 2025. The whole trip was well planned and we had two experienced and wonderful tour guides, with Linda in Beijing followed by Roger in Xian. Besides the many stories on the history of china, they were very helpful and patient throughout the whole journey. We all had a memorable time and highly recommend going through them again

Tracy was the perfect guide! Her knowldege about Xi’an and its history combined with her fluent accent made the best experience. She gave us precious information about the Terracotta Army, the big pagoda and the city wall. She also allowed us to have enough time to appreciate each stop. Highly recommend to take this tour and understand more the history of this very ancient city. My friend and I were very satisfied.

We had the pleasure of having Colin and a driver for 2 full days of private touring in Beijing over the busy May Day holiday. He was not only knowledgeable about all the sites we saw but also knew all the tricks to get us to and from the sites with our driver during what was a major holiday. We could have never done these sites on our own and his narration added major color to what we were experiencing. He also took us to a excellent dumpling place (we requested to have great dumplings in a local place) and helped us order which was helpful since we would have ordered way too much. Loved our tour!

We are on our third trip in Asia. Traveling to some places in South Korea, China and Japan. Xi'an brought us here because of its history and we scheduled one day to visit the city and continue going to Beijing. Of course, our special interest was in the terracotta army. The tour met our expectations and more. It began in the terracotta military pits and its museum, continued with the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and ended up on the city walls. We are not still on the Muslim branch walking because we are only standing there. Tracy, our guide, was perfect. Well prepared for our questions, always smiling and coordinating the group perfectly. She was there for as in any moment and offered herself to help even when the tour was already finished. She said, "24 h help available"!

We had a fantastic time exploring Xi’an through Travel China Guide. We spent 2 days with Celine as part of a private tour.
She guided us around the Terracotta Army and other sites across the city. Her English was excellent, and her knowledge of the sites really brought the history to life. Celine also recommended some fantastic local restaurants and took us to some lovely spots for lunch—we felt like we got a true taste of the city. Highly recommend her as a guide if you’re visiting Xi’an! Our driver was also great, the vehicle was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as having bottled water available.

We booked this trip only a few days prior to visiting China. We were greeted and picked up at our hotel and treated so amazingly throughout the day by our wonderful guide, Rocky. He was so knowledgeable, kind, funny and patient. We had the most amazing experience visiting all three places. Rocky is highly recommended. Thank you so much for making dreams a reality.

Given that we only had one full day in Beijing, this was the only trip we booked and we made the right choice. Our guide Mary was amazing - she ensured we had a great time and kept us entertained with stories of Chinese culture and history. Would totally recommend this trip to anyone, even if you have limited time to spend in the city

Had the BEST time with our guide, Carol in Xi’an. From the time we stepped off the plane, visited the Terracotta Army Museum, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, City Wall, the Muslim Quarter, and the Hanyangling (Tomb of Emperor Jingdi) — Carol was a wealth of information. Learned a lot from her. She even gave us tips for how to deal with the enormous crowds at the Terracotta Army Museum. We also got to see the Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show one evening. One of the guys in our group had a birthday. She arranged for the performers in full costume to present him with a cake and sing to him! We were a group of 16, plus a 9-month-old. We absolutely loved Carol. When it was time to move on to Beijing, she took us to the high speed railway station, got our tickets and walked us through security and to the correct gate we needed to board. She took all of our worries away. If you get the opportunity to take this tour, ask for Carol. She’s the BEST!!

A truly wonderful trip, from start to finish the organisation assisted by Emily Xin was some of the best we have experienced, nothing was too much trouble and Emily was on hand night and day to answer any questions. Pick up from the airports was also very smooth and all the guides were super friendly and knowledgable shout out to Kitty (Beijing) and Celine (Xi'an) who were both warm and made everyone feel welcome from the first day. Celine knowledge especially about the Terracotta Warriors was fantastic, she was so organised and a great guide.

We would recommend this company to anyone looking for a trip to China, they really think of everything.

It was one of our most wonderful vacations. It began with the planning, during which we were able to take advantage of the support of the tour operator. The tour left nothing to be desired. Our tour guides in Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Shanghai with their extensive knowledge, were able to provide us with many details we would never have known otherwise. The selection of hotels was also excellent, and the transportation between the cities was well organized. We were never left alone and always felt safe. Many thanks again to all the staff at Travel China Guide, especially Kitty, Celine, Connie, David, and Emily Xin.

We booked the half-day mini group tour to the Terracotta Warriors museum on 1st of May and the experience is totally worth it. Our guide - Tracy, walked us through the history and specifics not only of the Terracotta Warriors Museum but of Xi'an, too. She and the driver picked us up from the hotel and we headed to the Museum which is located outside the city. Tracy managed to get us though the lines and despite visiting the Museum on a national holiday when many visitors are expected, thanks to her, we almost didn't feel the people pressure.
My overall rating is 10/10 and I'd recommend booking this tour. My only regret is I didn't book the full day tour as it includes other significant sightseeings.
Thank you, Tracy

Great tour option! Really small group which is nice and the tour guide, Celine explained everything well and was very helpful and friendly. The cost is really good as well.

We started early to see the terracotta warriors, then headed to the wild goose pagoda and then the city wall. From there, you can follow the tour to the muslim street or head pack to your hotel.

Pick up from the hotel is included as well as transportation and ticket pricing. Overall, it was a really great tour experience and i strongly recommend it!

If you look forward to a deep understanding of the history behind the Terracotta Army, you're booking the right experience. Our guide, Celine, did an outstanding job with all her knowledge while taking care of all the details for the group. She secured the best spots for a good view and pictures and guided us smoothly despite how crowded the place was. Our lunch was great. Pickup time occurred at the right time. Highly recommended.

We took the tour of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall with our guide Helen. We were apprehensive about the time and organization. However, our guide Helen provided a great tour. Everything was well organized, with good historical explanations, we had enough time to see the tourist attractions, take photos, eat and even do some shopping. Helen was a great professional, punctual and kind. We recommend it!

Our 2nd leg of the trip was Xian and started with the welcome from our guide Rita waiting at the train station. Rita is very knowledgeable about all the historical sites that we visited and the presentation sparked the importance of Xian in Chinese history. She answered a lot of our questions and the trip went smoothly. We visited a lot of museums and the Xian city wall was just amazing. There is so much to see in Xian and Rita was flexible to arrange the schedule to ensure we got the most coverage comfortably with our limited schedule and my elder mother of 89 years old. I found that the people in Xian were friendly and helpful from the staff members at the museums and the staff at the airport where we boarded our flight to Guilin for our 3rd leg of the trip, they provided us the assistance to wheel my elderly Mom through the facility smoothly. Xian is a great place to visit. Thanks to Rita and the travel team for making the trip go smoothly.
