She helped us with the tickets, made access to all places smooth and easy, and ensured we made the most of our time.
What I appreciated the most is that Helen went far beyond her duties as a guide — she even helped us with questions about getting around the city after the tour, offering great local advice and practical tips.
Truly an exceptional guide. If you have the chance to do a tour with Helen, don’t hesitate. Thank you Helen, for such an unforgettable experience! Less
Jeroen CPerfect to see the main highlights is a day with a small group and a very experienced tour guideThe trip was really great. The square and the forbidden city were really busy, luckily we had a very good tour guide. Helen knows how to move easily through all the crowd. She also is good in explaining the history stories in a good way.
What I like about this trip is that it's only with a small group of people, which makes it fast, flexible and you have the opportunity to get to know each other.

AmesxProfessional & great customer serviceI was recommended by my good friend to try Travel China Guide after she had a good experience with their guide in Dec 2024. My entire experience from the first touch point, to planning of itinerary, to finalising the details, payment and finally arriving in Beijing for the actual tour was a positive one. I feel assured and taken care of during the entire process & journey. Andy was our guide and he has been most pleasant company.

Valerie HA great day in Beijing!I only had one full day to spend on Beijing and this tour was ideal to see the main highlights. It's a feat to cover all three sights in one day but our guide Helen expertly navigated us through the large crowds and various queues and ensured that we maximized the time we had at each sight. She was also very informative, friendly and helpful. We had enough time at the Great Wall for a good walk along the wall and were able to do this independently rather than have to stay with the group.

Tourguide Celine picked us up on time from our hotel with a comfortable aircon bus and a happy approach. Celine gave us on the way to-, and at the site, a lot of useful information. Being there in the morning saved a bit of crowd, and as this is a major popular place, it makes a difference. Tips for where to look, how to secure a good photospot were ultimate. Both at the Terracotta Army, as well as at the city sightseeing, Celine surprised us with information on names, events, places that we thought we knew.. and she added new information. I saw Celine taking care of everyone in the group incl kids. She listened, answered, was patient, and surprised in a positive way. Travel China Guide, and the city of Xi'an can be happy with Celine, and we were delighted with this tour and her service. Less

We did the 3 pits and the special exhibition and it did not disappoint. I think having a guide is a must, our guide Celine was amazing, she gave us so much context behind all the exhibitions and was happy to answer any of our questions.
The Wild Goose Pagoda was also impressive and again the context that Celine gave us really helped to enhance the experience.

yer LGreat Xian guide!My family and I chose a 9-day private tour to Beijing, Xian and Chengdu. We are satisfied with the tour - choice of hotel, itinerary, guides and drivers. Special mention to our guide Lily who did the Xian leg. She is very professional, knowledgeable and is also passionate in her delivery. She provided superb information which kept us, even my children, interested in Chinese history. She also ensured that little things eg water, meals, convenient drop-off points, best photo location etc are well MoreMy family and I chose a 9-day private tour to Beijing, Xian and Chengdu.

Marilyn YFamily Beijing & Xi’an TripReally enjoyed this family trip especially the 3days 2nights in Xi’an. Very interesting activities such as terracotta clay making and joining the locals for morning exercises at the city wall park. Our guide Ms Tracy is very knowledgeable and patient with our group which includes both old folks and teenagers. She is always ready to answer our questions.

Freddy YTravel China Guide private tour of ShanghaiThe Shanghai portion of our Travel China Guide tour was fast paced and guided by Sophie Lee who was outstanding. Sophie’s knowledge and experience of Shanghai were excellent. She took great care of the two of us which allowed use to maximize our time. As our private guide, Sophie was a strong advocate for us whatever and wherever we went. Her English was very good and always explained our itinerary in detail. Her driver and the van were also very good.
TravelGnomesDay trip to Zhujiajiao Water TownWe took a day tour from Shanghai to Zhujiajiao with Sasa as our tour guide. She was amazing and very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Shanghai and its surroundings.
The Water Town is touristy and quite crowded with tourists groups and school groups. There is a central canal that you walk along with boat rides as an option. We visited two private gardens - lovely Chinese architecture and landscaping and blissful to escape the tourist crowds. They are smaller than Yu Gardens MoreWe took a day tour from Shanghai to Zhujiajiao with Sasa as our tour guide.

We visited two private gardens - lovely Chinese architecture and landscaping and blissful to escape the tourist crowds. They are smaller than Yu Gardens in Shanghai but I enjoyed them much more due to the peace and tranquility.
The shops are all touristy but interesting to see the various wares. Overall I felt it was a touristy visit. Sasa was so helpful and went in her own time to get Bund cruise tickets for us as we had trouble booking online.
We found all our various tour guides very helpful and flexible. I highly recommend using this travel company for whichever tour you decide upon. Less

The view from the bridge on the river and along the bike path were incredible. On Kim's suggestion, we attended the Romance show. We really enjoyed this show, which was about the history of the Yangshuo area. On our last day, we went up the Yao mountain in a cable car. The views from the top were amazing. That day, we also stopped by the Reed Flute Cave, which was an enormous caves with beautiful rock formations. Some reviews I had read earlier had made me question whether this cave was worth it but we really enjoyed it.

AxeletsharonAwesome Cruise with great guideThe weather was excellent and we add an exceptional and beautiful cruise on the river. Our guide (Joanne) and driver were also very good, we did some extra activities after the boat such as cycling. The cruise is a must do when you visit China, the scenery are wonderful, the food on board is not great (take snacks) and drinks very expensive. This is a unique visit that worth the trip to Guilin.
Freddy YTravel China Guide private tour of GuilinOur Travel China Guide tour in Guilin/Yangshuo was outstanding not only due to the incredible views but also because of our local guide Samantha. She was extremely knowledgeable and took great care of us. Samantha made sure we maximize our time with all the information and experience of the area which included a visit to an elderly village couple. It was obvious that Samantha cared about this couple and we enjoyed sharing our time with them. The driver was very good as well.

Connie went above and beyond every single day. She made sure every detail of our itinerary was taken care of, always keeping our safety and comfort in mind. Her deep knowledge of Chengdu’s history, culture, and cuisine added so much richness to our trip. More than just a guide, Connie felt like a friend by the end — always patient, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about sharing her hometown with us.
Some highlights from our trip include:
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding – Seeing the pandas up close was a dream come true. Connie timed our visit perfectly so we could see them during their most active time in the morning.
Thanks to Connie, we felt welcomed, informed, and totally at ease throughout our stay. Chengdu is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and having a guide like her made all the difference.
Highly recommend visiting Chengdu — and if you can, request Connie as your guide. She's the best! Less
