Dec 3, 2025Amazing 14 Day China private tour; Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and ShanghaiMy boyfriend and I went to China on our private tour for 14 days. We found November to be a perfect time, with cool but clear days and very little crowds at most attractions. As our tour was private, we had an assigned travel agent who could help us make specific changes to the itinerary.
Ms Emily Xin was our tour agent and she was amazing.

Full TextMy boyfriend and I went to China on our private tour for 14 days. We found November to be a perfect time, with cool but clear days and very little crowds at most attractions. As our tour was private, we had an assigned travel agent who could help us make specific changes to the itinerary.
Ms Emily Xin was our tour agent and she was amazing. From when we first reached out to when we were on the tour, she was quick to respond to any of our queries or changes we requested be made to our trip. She also gave us consistent updates on the booking process of the trip. When we requested to change the round trip cable car at the Great to a chair list up and toboggan slide down Ms Xin immediately made the change. The week before we left, Ms Xin once again reached out to provide us our full itinerary in a printable document which also included all contacts for our guides.
We had four guides over our trip, one for each city. In Beijing Selina was our guide. Selina was one of our favourite guides, perfectly balancing giving information while letting us enjoy the attractions. She had lot of historical and cultural knowledge on all sites we visited. She also gave us good recommendations for places to eat. When we first arrived, Selina helped us set up a metro pass in Alipay. This fundamentally changed our trip allowing us to easily navigate the train system with ease. While we likely would have eventually worked it out on our own, Selina's quick intervention meant we were able to enjoy Beijing to its fullest.
Our second guide was Roger who showed us around Xi'an. Roger had an incredible amount of knowledge. He was able to answer every question we had and provide us with information that we wouldn't have ever thought to ask. At times the onslaught of information could feel a bit exhausting and more like a university lecture than a tour group. However, I imagine that in a bigger group this would not pose as much of an issue.
Jason (or LJ as we called him) was our guide in Zhangjiajie. He was also one of our favourites, being absolutely amazing from start to finish. At every attraction he expertly navigated what little crowds there were and made sure to show us attractions of the beaten path. He even organised for us to visit the Huanglong Cave when we spontaneously decided to add it to our itinerary, going so far as to hand draw us a map. Zhangjiajie was spectacular, and we would highly recommend LJ as a guide for any person going there.
Ryan was our guide in Shanghai. He had very good knowledge of the history of Shanghai which we found incredibly interesting. He also timed all our stops on the tour very well giving us enough time to first hear the information and then enjoy the stop by ourselves.
Overall, this was a fantastic holiday. All our hotels were in excellent locations and had comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffets did cater towards Chinese guests more than the western diet, however there are options that most would enjoy. Choosing to travel with this company was definitely the best decision. Every detail was managed for us. Ms Xin and all the guides were so helpful and attentive towards us, and it truly made for a magical holiday. Would absolutely recommend this tour and the company to anyone looking to enjoy China.

From the moment I landed in Beijing to leaving from Shanghai, everything was meticulously planned and ran like clockwork. It was a brilliant and fascinating couple of weeks, the guides spoke perfect English and were very informative, and the organization from Wendy Lee from start to finish was perfect.
I would happily and heartily recommend Travel China Tours to anyone. - CHChristine

We are also happy and satisfied with the service and attitude of the guide and driver. - SQSohail Qasim

The gratitude cost should be clearer, it is actually compulsory because it is also for the driver and the team behind the scene purchasing various tickets and making sure the tour goes smoothly.
You will need to have cash, not many places accept card. May be use Wise or master card to draw cash.
Try to travel with smaller luggages because the train rides in and out with big luggages can be hard. You can place the Small bags on the overhead compartment.
Bring roll on deodorant, one of the train ride security confiscated spray deodorants and opened alcohol.
If you are travelling southern China, sign up with SkyPearl to pre-book seat on line.
All up 7.5/10.

Our trip to China was absolutely amazing! This is the second time we’ve used this agency, and everything was perfect—just as it was on our first trip. The local guides were exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, fluent in English, and always in tune with exactly what we wanted to see and do. The hotels were very comfortable and centrally located, making each day’s logistics smooth and efficient.
All of our transportation—whether by van or plane—was extremely well organized, and we never encountered a single issue. The food was delicious everywhere we went, and the country itself is truly stunning, from its landscapes to its culture and history.
We are especially grateful to Emily for the wonderful support she provided throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and care made our trip even more memorable.
We had such a fantastic experience, and we genuinely can’t wait to come back and explore even more!

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!

Travel China Guide organized our individual 16-day trip to China on the route Beijing - Shanghai - Luoyang - Shaolin - Xi'an - Chongqing - Zhangjiajie - Guilin - Yangshuo - Hong Kong. We were 4 women and relied entirely on Emily Xin's professional experience to draw up the itinerary, purchase train tickets between the cities, tours and book hotels. Emily was always available and answered all our questions extremely quickly and accurately, gave very accurate instructions and information. Special thanks to Emily, as she made our trip a reality and a dream come true. Thank you Emily! The hotels were wonderful (4 stars) with nice breakfasts, suitable for Europeans; the cars were new, comfortable and clean, water was provided, and the drivers were smiling and polite. I would like to specially thank to all ours guides - Selina, Bonnie, Kelly, Tracy, Yolin and Kim, who were with us and made our stay in China charming. They are incredible professionals and we congratulate them warmly and heartily! Once again, thank you for the excellent organization of our trip and I will highly recommend your company to all our relatives and friends! We will definitely return to China someday, as there is still so much to see and we will definitely trust your company and Emily again! Many many thanks!

We were really fortunate to have Emily Xin serving as our travel consultant in the planning of our 7-day private Chengdu-Chongqing tour completed recently. As per our wishes, she arranged all things for our group of 7 adults without a hitch, including must-visit destinations, admission tickets, hotels, suitable tour guides, bullet train tickets, etc. Her strong diligence, responsiveness, knowledge, advice, and ability to serve cheerfully directly contributed to our successful tour planning. Her flawless arrangements with the local tour guides, who were knowledgeable and helpful throughout, enhanced the quality of our tour experience. Emily is no doubt a great asset to Travelchinaguide.com. Thank you very much Emily for all your help and hard work! I also appreciated your personally assisting me each step of the way, from start to finish.

My family of 3 travelled through china for a month from shanghai, beijing, xi'an, chengdu, zhangjiajie, and guangzhou including a short cruise seeing the three gorges dam.
From start to finish, we were very impressed. The tour guides spoke great english and two guides very good cantonese. We saw all the sites without feeling too rushed, except for parts of Beijing--but that was due to Golden week coming up. The accomodations were excellent for 3-star options, nearly every one was in a walkable part of the city.
Special thanks to Nicole, out trip organizer who had to re-plan everything a year later due to one of our member's passport snaffu.

We just returned from a 5 day custom trip to China, visiting Beijing and Xi’an, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to an outstanding team of guides, drivers, and coordinators.
From the very beginning, Wendy Lee, our overall travel coordinator, made the experience seamless. Her communication while creating our custom itinerary was excellent — she was responsive, attentive to our preferences, and ensured every detail of the trip was tailored perfectly to our needs.
In Beijing, we were incredibly fortunate to have Fen, our phenomenal driver. She was always early, greeted us each morning with a warm smile, and navigated the busy city streets with calm precision. Her professionalism, kindness, and cheerful presence added so much comfort and enjoyment to our time in Beijing.
We also had two wonderful guides — Li Wen Quan and Tom — who made the city’s rich history come alive.
• Li Wen Quan led us through the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, sharing fascinating stories and insights that deepened our appreciation for both sites.
• Tom guided us through Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, blending deep historical knowledge with an engaging, personable style that made the day both educational and fun.
In Xi’an, our guide Rita was equally outstanding. She managed to fit so much into one amazing day — from the awe-inspiring Terracotta Warriors to a walk along the Xi’an City Wall and the bustling Muslim Street. Her passion for history and enthusiasm made the entire day flow beautifully and left us with incredible
memories.
Highly recommend this tour!

This was our second private tour with TravelChina, the first was in China during 2018 and the second we’ve just completed this October 2025, which was in India, the golden triangle. I really cannot find a fault with our private guided tour. We were four and none of us had been to India previously. Our tour began when we were met at Delhi airport by the TravelChina representative and our driver, Anand Sharma, who took us to our first hotel. We had the remainder of that day to relax and do our own thing. Each of our hotels were 4 stars, Crown Plaza’s and Holiday Inns. Each of them were perfectly clean and offered some wonderful food. Our tour included sites in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and each city had a separate tour guide. Anand, our driver throughout the tour, who spoke good English, had a very spacious mini bus with essential air conditioning, a good supply of chilled water and snacks. There was plenty of seating for the 4 of us and a guide, it was very comfortable. We had 3 guides who were interesting, considerate and with whom we had some good fun. They were all very knowledgeable and each of them were able to communicate to us the history, the occupants and the purpose of the architecture or construction that we were viewing. So it is a big ‘thank you’ from the four of us to Mahip who gave us a wonderful time in Delhi, amazing sites with a lot for us to think about, thanks for everything Mahip. At Agra we met our guide Masood, Agra has the Taj Mahal an incredible historic building. Masood was able to tell us all about it’s history as we watched the sunrise and then introduced us to a more recent historical object ‘Diana’s Bench’. Thanks for the photographs Masood, they were magnificent. In Jaipur we met our next guide Samee, who amongst other sites, took us to the Amber Fort. It’s not to be missed and of course Samee was able to to tell us all about the history behind it, fascinating. It started raining but it didn’t stop us from seeing Jantar Mantar a superb working observatory. We just hope that you got home OK that evening Samee, it was raining very hard.
Mahip, Masood and Samee, thank you all for the photographs that you took of the four of us, they were amazing.
Anand our driver was essential to the tour. He was with us from day one and had to deal with the driving and the traffic in the cities we visited. He’s a very patient man. He was also very punctual and dealt with all our needs whilst he was with us. In particular at the end of our tour he took us to the hotel we had booked for that night before we flew out of Delhi the following morning. However, we didn’t stay at this hotel so Anand helped us book another hotel and then drove us through Delhi to our new accommodation. Thank you for that Anand it was very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use TravelChina again, they were always approachable and replied to my emails by the following morning. Excellent, I would certainly not hesitate to use TravelChina again for a private tour.

My trip through Travel China Guide was excellent. How refreshing it was- not to have to worry about details: transportation to a venue, where to eat, hotel selection and checking in, and city to city transfers. All of these details were handled by the Travel China Guide Tour Guides and Coordinators. In addition, the restaurant selection and hotel selections were excellent. Lastly, I enjoyed the tour guides insight about each of the cities, their people, and the significance of the cultural event or their historical relevance. Thank you Travel China Guide Tours for a memorable vacation.

We had an awesome trip. The tour loop around Poland was perfect for our group of 4. Having some issues with walking distances we chose this tour so that we could move at a slower pace. This worked great for the private tours. However, 3 of our group could not do the Salt Mine since it required 800 stair steps. This was not explained ahead of time or we would've only purchased 1 ticket. The Salt Mine does have a handicap accessible tour so we wish that had been scheduled for our group. Likewise, the Auschwitz tour was a group tour and 3 of our group could not go in the buildings, nor was the tour guide willing to slow down for them. Also, our itinerary stated the group would be approx 15 people which is not true. We had over 30 people in our group and there were so many groups scheduled that we were continually waiting in long lines to get in and out of the exhibit buildings.
The rest of the trip was absolutely enjoyable! The hotels were very nice, had wonderful breakfasts that filled us for the day, and were located in areas that allowed us to walk to restaurants and experience the towns after the driver dropped us off for the day. The private tour guides were great and came up with flexible ways to include those in our group with limited walking capability. Our drivers in Gdansk (Omnibus Tourist - Andrew) and Krakow (Spectrips - Sebastian) were great. Sebastian was actually our tour guide to Zakopane and around the city. He gave us insight to everyday life and we were ready for that after hearing about the history of Poland for several days.
What would I do different next time? I would add an extra night in each of the cities so we would still have the same tours but extra time to explore on our own.
We had an awesome time!! I highly recommend the tour.

We recently used Lilly for Gullian and surroundings trip and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was incredibly detailed, offering not just the usual tourist spots but also hidden gems that made the experience truly special. The maps were accurate and easy to follow, and the cultural insights helped us connect more deeply with the place.
What stood out most was the practical advice—transportation tips, local etiquette, and budget-friendly recommendations were spot-on. I especially appreciated the suggested itineraries, which balanced sightseeing with relaxation perfectly. She is extremely friendly and one of the best guide I ever met

I travelled to China with my daughter. This was my first time and my daughter's second time to China. We had a wonderful time and all of the guides from Travel China Guide were first class! Our guides Kevin (Beijing), Carol (Xi'an), Arthur (Guilin), Julie (Chengdu) and Mary (Shanghai) gave us a rich history of the cities we visited, making the experience insightful and very memorable. A special shoutout to Kevin and Carol who help us navigate through large crowds in Beijing and Xi'an. We could not have seen all we did without them!

I've agonized over this. How do you attempt to put into words the perfect trip. Everything was just that -- perfection!
There was not one part of this trip that could possibly be improved upon. Not one part!
The accommodations were beyond anything we could have hoped for or imagined.. Beautiful hotels that were all centrally located to the attractions that we desired to see.
Tour guides who were all very knowledgeable of the cities and attractions we visited as well as China itself. All were friendly, courteous and professional even when the tourists (us) were not always easy to deal with. They met both our every need and request especially when it came to my health concerns and diabetes requirements. Absolutely no barriers were encountered when it came to communication. Everyone was more than fluent in English and showed great deference when it came to my hearing difficulties. The drivers in every location showed great knowledge of their area as well as observing safe driving skills. That was much appreciated! Not one thing would we have changed. Lastly, when it comes to our travel consultant, Emily Xin is INCREDIBLE! I had over 25 communications with her throughout the booking process, and she replied to every single one professionally and expediently. She is an asset to Travel China Guide (Xian Marco Polo Tours) and a wonderful example of the professionalism exhibited by all their staff. Thank You so much for the trip of a lifetime! China is AMAZING!!!

We had a wonderful five-day getaway to Guangzhou, expertly organized by Travel China. The itinerary was well-paced, combining scenic sightseeing, signature local meals, and enjoyable shopping—all delivered with a touch of luxury.
Our guide Milton and driver Mr. He were exceptional: always punctual, attentive, and professional. Their care and coordination made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed travel experience.

We went to Beijing, Pingyao, Xian, and Guilin with Wendy Lee, and would highly recommend them. Advanced English speaking guides that were professional, knowledgeable, and helpful even beyond the call of duty. I tripped and scraped my arm when about to tour the Great Wall. Instead of just letting me wash it off and go, our guide took me to a desk where they had a first aid kit. He put disinfectant and lots of bandaids on it himself (about an 8 inch wound) before proceeding with our tour. I was so grateful. Each driver was safe and had a clean car. They all helped us get to our train/plane as opposed to just dropping us off at the station where we cannot read the signs. When we arrived at the next destination, our next guide was waiting right at the exit to take us on the next leg of our journey. Everything was simple, friendly, and wonderful. They answered all kinds of questions about what we were seeing and their culture so that we had an enjoyable and informative vacation. I would highly recommend Wendy Lee.
